Vernacular translation:

There is a man named Gong Yu in Beishan, who is nearly ninety years old and lives facing the mountain. Suffering from the inconvenient traffic in the north of the mountain, it takes a long way to get in and out, so I called the whole family to discuss and said, "I will try my best to eradicate the steep mountain with you and make the road lead all the way to the south of Yuzhou and reach the south bank of Hanshui, okay?" Everyone agreed. His wife raised a question and said, "With your strength, you can't even level this Queff Mountain. How can you view the two mountains, the Taihang Mountain and the Prince of Wu? " Besides, where do we put the mud and stones? "Everyone said," We can throw it to the edge of Bohai Sea, north of Tibetan soil. "So Gong Yu led his descendants who could carry heavy burdens, chiseled stones and dug soil, and carried them to the Bohai Sea with a dustpan. The widow in the neighboring capital has an orphan, only seven or eight years old, who just changed her teeth and skipped to help them. Winter and summer change seasons only once.

A clever old man on the bend of the river laughed at the foolish old man and stopped him from doing so, saying, "You are really not clever! With your aging age and residual strength, even a grass on the mountain can't be damaged. What can you do with the earth and stones on these two mountains? " Gong Yu of Beishan sighed, "You are so stubborn that you can't even compare with orphans and widows. Even if I die, I still have a son; Son gives birth to grandson, grandson gives birth to son; A son has a son and a son has a grandson; There is no end to children and grandchildren, and mountains do not increase. Why worry about digging uneven mountains? " The clever old man has nothing to answer.

Success comes from thrift, failure comes from luxury: success comes from thrift, and destruction comes from luxury.
