The above video is the same story but the following text does not match the video:
从前南京城里有一个人, 姓徐, 刚刚结婚, 夫妻俩非常恩爱,幸福。可是,那个时候马上要打仗了,大家都逃到乡下。 徐先生怕万一他和妻子路上走丢了怎么办? 就把家里的一面镜子分成两半, 一半给他的妻子, 一半自己留着。说好元宵节时,他们在街上, 一个人买镜子,一个卖镜子,用这样的方法来找到对方。
仗打起来以后,徐先生的妻子真的走丢了。徐先生非常想念妻子,元宵节那天就去街上找卖镜子的人。他看到一位老人正在卖半面镜子, 就拿出自己的半面镜子,两面镜子正好对上。原来是他的妻子让老人替她卖镜子找丈夫的。 徐先生就这样找到了他的妻子。

女娲造人以后,人类在天地间幸福地生活着。
有一年,天忽然塌了一个角,地也在中间裂开了很宽的一条缝。山上到处都是熊熊大火,山下是滔滔洪水。
人类没有办法,成千上万的人死了。
天上的神仙都怕危险, 没有人肯管这件事。
女娲知道了很着急,她说:“我要去帮助人类, 因为他们是我的孩子。”
她融化了五种颜色的石头, 把天补好。
她又取下大乌龟的四只脚当柱子,把天撑起来。
从此,天再也不会塌下来了。所有这些事,女娲都是一个人完成的。人类要感谢女娲,但是找不到她, 因为女娲已经悄悄地躲起来了。

孟子是中国历史上影响最大的思想家之一。 他很小的时候,父亲就去世了,孟子是他的母亲带大的。孟子的家附近是一块墓地, 他经常去那儿玩,和邻居的小孩一起学着大人跪拜、哭嚎的样子。孟子的母亲看见了就说: “这地方对小孩不好。”所以她就把家搬到别的地方去了。新家在一个市场旁边,孟子常常去市场玩, 学商人做生意,杀猪卖肉的样子。他的母亲知道了皱皱眉头说: “这地方对小孩也不好。” 就把家搬到了一个学校旁边。孟子看到学校里的学生都念书, 也跟着念书。 孟子的母亲满意地笑着说: "这才是小孩子应该住的地方。“ 所以, 孟子的母亲跟孟子就在那儿住下来了。孟子后来成了一个很有学问的人。Vocabulary List孟子 mèng zǐ - Mencius 中国 zhōng guó - China 历史 lì shǐ - history 影响 yǐng xiǎng - Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090070269845738181.post-86544097358264477432011-05-13T18:28:00.000-07:002011-05-13T18:33:34.244-07:00夜里: during the night / at night / nighttime

I used the MDGB dictionary search for words with the character "感". MDGB is very useful and has been recently changed. It's really easy to use. I can see that I'll be spending more time using it to search for connections and ways to remember the characters I'm learning.
