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.
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: Mm, but an old man probably couldn’t even move a small tree.
Wang Ming: Yes, that’s what his wife said, 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.

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.
