Wang Ming: Hi, Anna. In my Chinese class today, we read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves a Mountain.
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 that they put it into the sea because it’s big enough to hold everything. So they all started digging the next day.
