愚公移山

There were two mountains between Jizhou in the south and Heyang in the north. Both of them
were very high. An old man, called Mr. Fool, lived in the north of the mountain with his
family. He was nearly ninety years old. Because of these two high mountains, the whole fam
ily had to walk a long way from one side to the other side of the mountainsOne day, Mr. Fo
ol called all his family together to talk about moving the two mountains to other place. A
ll of them agreed. So it was decided. His children started to dig the mountains with him.
The next day, a man called Smart came and said:“Why did you do that? These two mountains a
re so high and you are so old and weak! How can you move the mountains?" Mr. Fool laughed
and said:“It’s not difficult at all! Look! Those two mountains are still there, but I have
mychildren, and my children will have their children, generations after generations, ther
e’s no end. I believe someday the mountains will be moved."
