Yugong moves the mountains
An old man, called Yugong, lives at the foot of two mountains. Every day he goes out, he has to go around the mountains. It’s very very inconvenient.
So one day, he talks to his family: “ I want to move away the two mountains”.
His wife says: “ The two mountains are so big, how can you move them? Besides, where do you put the stones and clay?”
But his children all support him. They decide to put the stones and clay into the sea.
The next day, they begin to dig the mountain.
An old man called Zhisou, says to Yugong: “ You are so old, you won’t move away the two mountains before you die. “
Yugong smiles and says: “ It doesn’t matter. I have sons, my sons will have sons. It’s endless. We will move away the mountain some day!”
So Yugong and his children dig the mountains every day. From morning to evening, never stop.
The god hears about Yugong and is moved by his spirit. He sends two generals to carry away the two big mountains.
The next morning, Yugong and his children see a smooth road in front of their house and the two big mountains are gone. They are very happy!

愚公移山
一个老人，叫愚公，住在两座大山的脚下。每天他要外出，他必须绕行两座山。非常不方便。
所以有一天，他对他的家人说：“我想把这两座山搬走。”
他的妻子说：“这两座山这么大，你怎样搬它们呢？ 况且，你要把石头和泥土放哪里呢？”
但是他的孩子们都支持他。他们决定把石头和泥土都倒进海里。
第二天，他们开始挖山。
一个叫智叟的老人对愚公说：“ 你都这么老了，你不可能在死之前把这两座山搬走的。”
愚公笑着说：“没关系。 我有儿子，我的儿子也会有儿子。这是无穷无尽的。我们总有一天会把这两座大山搬走的。”
于是，愚公和他的孩子们每天都去挖山。从早到晚，从不停止。
天帝听说了愚公的事，被他的精神感动了。他派了两个大将把这两座大山背走了。
第二天早上，愚公和他的孩子们看见了一条平坦的路在他们房子前面，两座也不见了。
他们非常开心。
