Once upon a time, There were two mountains, Taihang and Wangwu near his house.They were so high and big that it took a long time to walk to the other side. One day ,Yugong called in his family and said that they should all help him to move the mountains. But his wife said, “Where would you put all the earth and stone fromthe mountains?” Yugong ’s family said they could put it into Bohai. So they all started digging the next day.
One day, a man named Zhisou saw Yugong and his children while they were working on moving the mountains. He told Yugong,“ You can never do it. You are very old now. You can’t even move a corner of the mountains.”As soon as the man finished talking, Yugong said “My family can continue to move the mountains. After I die, there will still be my children ,my grandchildren, my great grandchildren. My family will live and grow, but the mountains can’t get bigger.” Zhisou had nothing to say.
A god was so moved by Yugong that he sent two gods to take the mountains away.
