2c
Yu Gong and his family began to move some of the earth and stone to the sea.
One day, a man saw Yu Gong and his children when they were working on moving the mountains.
He told Yu Gong that he could never do it because he was old and weak.
As soon as the man finished talking, Yu Gong said that his family could continue to move the mountains after he died.
His family would live and grow, but the mountains could not get bigger. So Yu Gong and his family kept on digging day after day and year after year.
Finally, a god was so moved by Yu Gong that he sent two gods to take the mountains away.

Wang Ming: I think it’s really interesting. Yu Gong found a
good way to solve his problem.
Claudia: Really I think it’s a little bit silly. It doesn’t seem
very possible to move a mountain.
Wang Ming: But the story is trying to show us that anything
is possible if you work hard! Yu Gong kept
trying and didn't give up.

Claudia: Well, I still don’t agree with you. I think we should
try to find other ways to solve a problem.
Wang Ming:But what could Yu Gong do instead of moving
the mountains
Claudia: Well, there are many other ways. For example, he
could build a road. That’s better and faster than
moving a mountain!

neither of you are wrong. There are many sides to
a story and many ways to understand it.
