read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves
the Mountains.
Anna: Oh, how does the story begin
Wang Ming: Well, once upon a time, there was a very
old man. There were two mountains near
his house. They were so high and big that
it took a long time to walk to the other
side.
Listen and read.
Anna: So what happened next
Wang Ming: Well, the old man told his family that
they should all help him to move the
mountains.
Anna: Hmm, but they probably couldn’t even move a
small hill.
Wang Ming: Yes, that’s what I thought, too.
Anna: And where would they put all the earth and stone from the mountains
Wang Ming: Yu Gong said they could put it into the sea
because it’s big enough to hold everything.
So they all started digging the next day.
