speeches

Make a three-minute speech based on the video. Please give your speech a title.

Huize said to Zhuangzi :"the prince of Wei gave me a seed of a large kind of gourd. I planted it,
and it bore fruit as big as a five bushel measure. Now had I used this for holding liquids, it would
have been too heavy to lift; and had I cut it in half for ladles, the ladles would have been too flat
for such purpose. Certainly it was a huge thing, but I had no use for it and so broke it up."
"It was rather you did not know how to use large things! Now as to your five-bushel gourd,
why did you not make a float of it, and float about over river and lake? And you complain of its
being too flat for holding things! I fear your mind is stuffy inside."
