The Foolish Old Man MovedMountains--Yu Gong Yi Shan愚公移山.Long long time ago, there was an ninety-year-old man named Yu Gong (愚公) who lived in the north of two high mountains. One was called Tai Hang Mountain and the other Wang Wu Mountain. It was hard for him and his family to get around because of the mountains. So he made up his mind to move the mountains out of his way. One day, Yu Gong called all his family together to talk about how to move the two mountains to other places.很久很久以前，有一个九十岁的老人，名叫愚公，住在两座高山的北边。
一个叫太行山，一个叫王屋山。
由于山的存在，他和他的家人很难四处走动。
于是，他下定决心，要把山移开。
一日愚公召集全家，商议如何将两座山移至别处。
His wife said, "An old man like you cannot even move a small hill, not to mention the two high mountains. Even if you can, where can you throw so much earth and stone?"妻子说：“你这老头子连一座小山都搬不动，更别提那两座高山了。
就算你能搬，那么多的土石能丢弃到哪里呢？”"Dump them into the Sea of Bohai!" said everyone.“扔进渤海！” 大家说。
《愚公移山》英文故事。
The Taihang Mountains and Wangwu Mountains, with a circumference of seven hundred miles and a height of seven or eight thousand zhang, were originally located in the south of Jizhou and north of the north bank of the Yellow River.At the foot of the North Mountain, there is a man named Yu Gong. He is almost 90 years old and lives directly opposite the mountain. He was suffering from the blocking in the north of the mountain area, so he had to make a detour when he came out and went in. So he called the whole family together and said, "I will try my best to dig out the steep mountains with you, so that the road can lead to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of the Han River, OK?" Everyone agreed. His wife asked, "With your strength, you can't even flatten the mountain of Kui Fu. What about the Taihang and the King's House? Besides, where can you put the earth and stones?" They said, "Throw it on the edge of the Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden earth." So Yu Gong led three people who could carry the burden among his children and grandchildren up the mountain, chiseling stones, digging earth, and transporting them to the Bohai Sea with dustpan. The widow of the neighbor Jingcheng had an orphan, who was just seven or eight years old, and went to help them. Only one round trip can be made between winter and summer.The wise old man in Hequ sneered at Yugong and stopped him fromdoing this. He said, "You are so stupid! With your remaining years and strength, you can't even move a grass on the mountain. What can you do with mud and stone?" The Duke Yu of Beishan sighed: "Your mind is so stubborn that you can't enlighten yourself. Even orphans and widows can't match it. Even if I die, there are still sons; sons have grandchildren, and grandchildren have sons; sons have sons, and sons have grandchildren; children and grandchildren are endless, but the mountain will not increase, and you are afraid of digging up the injustice?" The wise old man at the bend of the river has nothing to answer.The mountain god holding the snake heard about this, and was afraid that he would dig down endlessly and report it to the Emperor of Heaven. Moved by Yu Gong's sincerity, the Emperor of Heaven ordered the two sons of Hercules Kua E to carry the two mountains, one in the east of Shuofang and the other in the south of Yongzhou. From then on, there was no mountain barrier from the south of Jizhou to the south bank of the Han River.。
