愚公移山之英文版
Once upon a time, there was a large mountain called Tai-Ying which sat between Old Man Yu and the nearest village. Every day, Old Man Yu had to walk many extra miles in order to circle around Tai-Ying, and finally he decided to simply move the mountain out of his way.
Old Man Yu called together his children and grandchildren. \"I am going to move Tai-Ying.\"
The family cheered.
The youngest stood and asked where the mountain could be moved.
Old Man Yu thought for a second. \"I will dump it in the sea.\"
Again the family cheered, and promised to help make his dream a reality.
Now, as everyone knows, it is no small matter to move a mountain, and this mountain was no exception. After a year, only a tiny portion of Tai-Ying had been carted to the sea.
A shopkeeper in the village laughed at Old Man Yu. \"Your dream is foolish. You are old, and Tai-Ying is monstrous.\"
Old Man Yu shook his head and smiled. \"You are right, but your vision is short. I have children who have children who will bear more children. As time goes on, I get stronger and the mountain grows weaker. Tai-Ying will be moved.\"
And so it was.
