  愚公移山

  传说很早以前,在冀州的南面、河阳的北面有两座大山,一座叫太行山,一座叫王屋山,山高万丈,方圆有七百里。

  在山的北面,住着一位叫愚公的老汉,年纪快九十岁了。他家的大门,正对着这两座大山,出门办事得绕着走,很不方便。愚公下定决心要把这两座大山挖掉。

  有一天,他召集了全家老小,对他们说:"这两座大山,挡住了我们的出路, 咱们大家一起努力,把它挖掉,开出一条直通豫州的大道,你们看好不好?"

  大家都很赞同,只有他的妻子提出了疑问。她说:"像太行、王屋这么高大的山,挖出来的那些石头、泥土往哪里送呢?"

  大家说:"这好办,把泥土、石块扔到渤海边上就行了!再多也不愁没地方堆。"

  第二天天刚亮,愚公就带领全家老小开始挖山。

  他的邻居是个寡妇,她有一个七八岁的小儿子,刚刚换完奶牙,也蹦蹦跳跳地前来帮忙。

  大家干得很起劲,一年四季很少回家休息。

  黄河边上住着一个老汉,这人很精明,人们管他叫智叟。他看到愚公他们一年到头,辛辛苦苦地挖山运土不止,觉得很可笑,就去劝告愚公:"你这个人可真傻,这么大岁数了,还能活几天?用尽你的力气,也拔不了山上的几根草,怎么能搬动这么大的山呢?"

  愚公深深地叹口气说:"我看你这人自以为聪明,其实是顽固不化,还不如寡妇和小孩呢!不错,我是老了,活不几年了。可是,我死了还有儿子,儿子又生孙子,孙子又生儿子;子子孙孙,世世代代,一直传下去,是无穷无尽的。可是这两座山却不会再长高了,我们为什么不能把它们挖平呢!"

  听了这些话,那个自以为聪明的智叟,再也无话可说了。 山神知道了这件事,害怕愚公一直挖下去,就去向上帝报告。老愚公的精神把上帝感动了,他就派两个大力神下凡,把两座大山背走,一座放到朔方东边,一座放到雍州南边。从此以后,冀州的南面,汉水的北面,就没有高山阻挡了。

  寓意:只要有顽强的毅力,坚定的决心,坚持不懈,奋斗不息,再大的困难也能够克服。

  愚公移山英文版

  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 moutain 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.
