Once upon a time, there was a very old man named Yu Gong. There were two mountains, Taihang and Wangwu. near his house. They were so high and big that it took a long time to walk to the other side. |
One day, Yu Gong called in his family and said, "Let's move (移动) the mountains away." But his wife said, "Where would you put all the earth and stones from the mountains?" |
Yu Gong's family said they could put them into Bohai. So they all started digging the next day. They worked hard day by day. But no one gave up(放弃). |
A man named Zhi Sou saw it. He told Yu Gong, "You are so silly. You can never do it. "You are very old, but the mountains are very huge. You can't move a corner of the mountains." |
Yu Gong said, "My family can continue (继续) to move the mountains. After I die there will still be my children, my grandchildren. my great grandchildren. My family will live and grow. But the mountains can't get bigger." Zhi Sou had nothing to say. |
The Jade Emperor heard the conversation. He said, "Yu Gong is such a strong man. He never gives up and he works hard to work out the problems. That's the spirit of Yu Gong." Then he asked two strong men to help. In a blink of an eve, the two mountains were removed. |
