Good morning/afternoon, everyone!
I'm very glad to stand here and share my favorite ancient story with you. The story is called "The Foolish Old Man Removes the Mountains".
Once upon a time, there was an old man. There were two big mountains in front of his house, which made it difficult for his family to go out. So he decided to move the mountains with his family. A smart man laughed at him, saying it was impossible. But the old man believed that as long as they kept working hard, they could do it. Finally, their determination moved the gods. The gods sent two immortals to move the mountains away.
From this story, I've learned that nothing is impossible if we have perseverance and determination. No matter how difficult the problem is, as long as we keep trying, we will succeed.
Thank you!
