But, sir, 3 strong your claws(爪子) and 4 (tooth) are! The truth is, sir, that my daughter is a bit frightened 5 you. If you have them taken off, she will feel quite safe.

Since his home faced the two mountains, he was troubled by the fact 1 they had to take a roundabout route whenever they went out. He decided to remove 2 mountains so that there was a direct way out. Therefore Yugong took with him three sons and grandsons. They 3 (break) up rocks and dug up 4 (basket)of earth which were transported to the edge of the Bo Sea.When an old man 5 (call) Zhisou learned this, he was amused and said to Yugong, “How can you be so 6 (fool)? With your old age, you cannot 7 destroy a blade(草叶)of grass on the mountain, not to speak of its earth and stone.” Yugong argued, “You are wrong. 8 I die, my sons and grandsons will go on and on 9 end. But the mountains will not grow in size. Then why worry about not being able to flatten(使…变平)them?”The king of the gods, 10 was moved by Yugong’s sincerity, ordered his soldiers to carry away the two mountains.（七）。
