There used to be two high mountains between Jizhou in the south and Hengyang in the north. One was c 1 Taihang Mountain and the other Wangwu Mountain. B 2 of the mountains were very high. Just to the north of the mountains lived an old man called Yu Gong who was nearly 90 years old. W 3 the two high mountains in front of his house, his family had to walk a long way around the mountains whenever they had something to do on the other side of the mountains.
One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to d 4 how to move the two mountains away. His wife said, “An old man like you cannot e 5 move a small hill, not to mention the two high mountains. Even if you can, where can you throw so much earth and stone?”
“The Bohai Sea is big enough to contain all the earth and stone,” Yu Gong said. So Yu Gong started to l 6 his children to dig the mountains. A man named Zhi Sou saw them working and tried to s 7 them, saying, “You are so silly! You're so old and weak, and how can you move the high mountains?”
“You're wrong,” Yu Gong said. “My sons can c 8 my work after my death. When my sons die, my grandchildren will continue. So generations after generations, there's no end. But the mountains can't grow higher. Do you still say I am u 9 to move them away?”
Later the Heaven God heard about Yu Gong's story. He was greatly t 10. He then ordered another god to take the two high mountains away.
The story tells us that as long as one is determined and sticks to it long enough, anything can be done, no matter how difficult it is.

Perhaps your childhood piano lessons made you never want to play the piano again. Perhaps a piano is too expensive for you to a 1. Now, thanks to a programme in Sydney called “Play Me, I'm Yours”, people are able to play the piano in p 2 places for free. They share beautiful music, and the programme also helps them communicate with each other.
Thirty pianos have been placed in d 3 parts of the city, i 4 several parks, a bus stop and some streets. The pianos have the logo “Play Me, I'm Yours” on them.
People are i 5 to play music or sing songs with the pianos, no matter what level of ability they have. Lots of people have been attracted to the programme and stopped to watch or play the pianos.
“Play Me, I'm Yours” is a part of the Sydney Festival. It is a project of the British artist, Luck Jerram. He wants to help people in the city connect with each other. He thinks that so many people are sitting in front of computers and b 6 with their work all hours and they a 7 have no chance to enjoy music. So the a 8 of the project is to help them relax and make new friends.
The programme “Play Me, I'm Yours” has also reached England and Brazil before. It was warmly welcomed t 9. But its greatest s 10 seems to come at the Sydney Festival.
“It's a chance for people to be creative, connect with strangers and just have some fun,” Jerram said.
