　　A great mountain大山

　　Long ago a great mountain began to rumble and shake.

　　People came from far and near to see what would happen.

　　"A great river will be born." said one.

　　"Surely nothing less than a mighty dragon will come out." said another.

　　"A god himself will spring form these rocks." said a third.

　　Finally, after days of expectation a small crack appeared in the mountain. And out popped --- a mouse.
