How The Foolish Old Man Moved Mountains
Yugong was a ninety-year-old man who lived at the north of two high mountains,Mount Taihang and Mount Wangwu.
Stretching over a wide expanse of land,the mountains blocked yugong's way making it inconvenient for him and his family to get around.One day yugong gathered his family together and said,"Let's do our best to level these two mountains.We shall open a road that leads to Yuzhou.What do you think?"
All but his wife agreed with him.
"You don't have the strength to cut even a small mound," muttered his wife."How on earth do you suppose you can level Mount Taixin and Mount Wanwu?Moreover,where will all the earth and rubble go?" "Dump them into the Sea of Bohai!" said everyone.
So Yugong,his sons,and his grandsons started to break up rocks and remove the earth.They transported the earth and rubble to the Sea of Bohai.
Now Yugong's neighbour was a widow who had an only child eight years old.Evening the young boy offered his help eagerly.
Summer went by and winter came.It took Yugong and his crew a full year to travel back and forth once.
On the bank of the Yellow River dwelled an old man much respected for his wisdom.When he saw their back-breaking labour,he ridiculed Yugong saying,"Aren't you foolish,my friend?You are very old now,and with whatever remains of your waning strength,you won't be able to remove even a corner of the mountain."
Yugong uttered a sigh and said,"A biased person like you will never understand.You can't even compare with the widow's little boy!"
"Even if I were dead,there will still be my children,my grandchildren,my great grandchildren,my great great grandchildren.They descendants will go on forever.But these mountains will not grow any taler.We shall level them one day!" he declared with confidence.
The wise old man was totally silenced.
When the guardian gods of the mountains saw how determined Yugong and his crew were,they were struck with fear and reported the incident to the Emperor of Heavens.
Filled with admiration for Yugong,the Emperor of Heavens ordered two mighty gods to carry the mountains away.
现代文：
太行、王屋两座山,方圆达七百里,高达七八千丈.它们原来位于冀州的南部、黄河北岸.
山北面有一位叫愚公的老人,年近九十岁了,向着大山居住.苦于大山的阻塞,出入要绕远路,于是他召集全家人商量说："我和你们竭尽全力铲平这两座大山,(使道路)直通豫州南部,达到汉水南岸,好吗?"大家纷纷表示赞同.他的妻子提出疑问说："凭您的力气,像魁父这样的小山丘也不能铲平,能把大行、王屋怎样呢?再说把石头和泥土往哪儿放呢?"大伙纷纷说："把土石投到渤海边上、隐土的北面."于是愚公率领子孙当中能挑担的三个人(上了山),凿石掘土,用箕畚把土石运到渤海边上.邻居姓京城的寡妇有个孤儿,才七八岁,(也)蹦蹦跳跳前来帮忙.夏去冬来,才能往返一次.
河曲智叟嘲笑并阻止愚公说："你太不聪明了!就凭你在世上这最后的几年,剩下的这么点力气,还不能毁掉山上的一根草木,又能把这大山的土石怎么样?"北山愚公长叹了一口气说："你思想太顽固,顽固得不开窍,连个寡妇、孤儿都比不上.即使我死了,还有我儿子在呀；儿子又生孙子,孙子又生儿子；儿子又有儿子,儿子又有孙子；子子孙孙永无穷尽,可是这两座山却不会再增高加大,还愁什么挖不平呢?"河曲智叟无话可答.
山神知道了这件事,害怕愚公挖山不止,就把这件事禀报天帝.天帝被愚公的诚心感动了,就命令大力神夸娥氏的两个儿子背起两座大山．-座放置在朔方东部,一座放置在雍州南部.从此,冀州的南部,直到汉水的南岸,再也没有高山阻隔交通了
