Let me tell you a story. Long long ago, there were
1 mountains in northern China. One was Taihang Mountain, and the other was Wangwu Mountain. In the north of the mountains, there was a big family.
The grandpa in the family was called Yugong. Because the mountains were
2 their house, he and his family had to walk long to get to the town on the southern side.
One day, Yugong thought, "It's so
3 to go out like this! I'm an old man now, but I have children. For them, their children and their
4 children, the road to the outside world cannot be blocked that way by the mountains. We should try to let them have a chance to
5 to know the world!"
Then he told his family his thoughts. Hearing what he said, all the people in his family made up
6 minds to remove the two mountains. However, the mountains were so
7 that they couldn't see their tops. The whole family couldn't dig very much each day
8 they didn't give up and kept on digging day after day.
Their perseverance(毅力) deeply touched their
9. Some children even came over to help.
An old man named Zhisou in a neighbouring village heard about this and came by just to talk with Yugong about it. "It was so unwise of you to make such a decision. You and your family don't have enough energy. How could you
10 remove the huge mountains? Let them stop now. Don't waste any more time!" he said.

12. As the mountains cannot grow taller any more, we are sure to make our dream
13 one day."
The Jade Emperor(玉皇大帝) was touched by Yugong's perseverance. He ordered two deities(神仙) to
14 the two mountains away on their backs, putting them in a place
15 Yugong's house.
