Section A 1b

Wang Ming:Hi,Anna.In my Chinese class today,we read a famous story called Yu Gong Moves the Mountains.

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:Hmm,but they probably couldn’t even move a small hill.

Wang Ming:Yes,that’s what I thought,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.
