“Monster wants a friend, male or female. I have two heads, four arms, six legs and three tails. I have one blue eye, one green eye and one brown eye. Smoke comes out of my noses.

The next day everyone in Yu Gong's family started to dig the mountains. They put the stones and the earth into the sea. One day a man saw Yu Gong and his children digging the mountains. He told Yu Gong he would never do it. But Yu Gong said although he was weak and would die, his family could continue to move the mountains.
