Let me tell you a story. Long long ago, there were two mountains in northern China. One was Taihang Mountain and ___1___ was Wangwu Mountain. In the north of the mountains, there was a big family.
The grandpa in the family was called Yugong. Because the mountains were ___2___ their house, he and his family had to walk long to get to the town on the southern side.
One day, Yugong thought, “It's so ___3___ to go out like this! I'm an old man now, but I have children. For them, their children and their ___4___ children, the road to the outside world cannot be blocked that way by the mountains. We should try to let them have a chance to ___5___ to know the world!”
Hearing what Yugong said, his family members all worked together and made up ___6___ minds to remove the two mountains. But the mountains were so ___7___ that people couldn't see their tops. Although the whole family couldn't dig very much each day, they didn't give up and kept on ___8___ day after day.
Their perseverance(坚持)deeply touched their ___9___. Some children even came over to help.
An old man named Zhisou in a neighbouring village heard about this and came by just to talk with Yugong about it. “It was so unwise of you to make such a decision. You and your family don't have enough energy. How could you ___10___ remove the huge mountains? You'd better ___11___ any more time!” he said.
Yugong ___12___ and said slowly, “You are wrong. When my sons are getting old, I still have grandsons here. My grandsons will have their children and their children's children. The family is ___13___. As the height of the mountains cannot be increased any more, we are sure to ___14___ our dream one day.”
The Jade Emperor(玉皇大帝)was touched by Yugong's perseverance. He ordered two deities(神仙)to ___15___ the two mountains away on their backs, putting them in a place far away from Yugong's house.
