There was a natural rock bridge in Mountain Chi Cheng. The bridge was only one foot in width, and was covered with smooth and slippery mosses¹. On both sides there were steep cliffs, and it was really dangerous.

 

But there was a woodman that could cross the bridge very easily with a big bundle of firewood on his back.

 

When asked by someone to do this once again for people to see, the woodman squinted² at the high and dangerous bridge and the abysses, his legs shuddered³. With his eyes full of fear, he totally lost his light heartedness and easiness that he had before.

 

赤城山上有一座天然的、完全由岩石架成的梁，桥面只有一尺宽，上面长满了又软又滑的苔藓，两旁是峭壁悬崖，极其危险。

 

一个打柴的樵夫却能背着一个大捆柴轻松地从桥上走过。

 

当有人请求樵夫专门走一趟，表演给大家看时，樵夫站在桥头，斜着眼睛看了看这座又高又险的石桥和两边的深渊，禁不住两腿颤抖，难以挪动脚步，眼中充满了恐惧，完全失去了第一次经过这座桥的潇洒和从容。
