惠子谓庄子曰：“魏王贻我大瓠之种．．．夫子固拙于用大矣！〈以下为删去之文字〉今子有五石之瓠．．．则夫子犹有蓬之心也夫！”---《庄子（逍遥游）》

Huize saidto Zhuangzi :"the prince of Wei gave me a seed of a largekind of gourd. Iplanted it, and it bore fruit as big as a five bushel measure.Now had I usedthis for holding liquids, it would have been too heavy to lift; andhad I cutit in half for ladles, the ladles would have been too flat for suchpurpose.Certainly it was a huge thing, but I had no use for it and so brokeitup."

"Itwas rather you did not know how to uselarge things! Now as to your five-bushelgourd, why did you not make a float ofit, and float about over river and lake?And you complain of its being too flatfor holding things! I fear your mind isstuffy inside."
