　　没过多久，公孙龙和他的门客一起出外游玩。他们来到一条很宽的河边，发现渡船在河的另一头，所有人都不知怎么办好。突然，公孙龙想起他最近收的那个人的本领是善于叫，于是，他就转过头去对那人说："你大声叫对面的船夫，看能不能把他叫过来。"那人觉得展示他技能的时候到了，就尽力大声向对面喊：" 喂，船夫，过来，我们要过河。"当他叫声刚完，那对面的船夫就摇着船过来了。公孙龙对这个新收的门客非常满意。

　　"We cannot understand you," interrogated the couple, "We have a find command of our art, how could we not earn our living with our work? Don't make a fool of us, please."

　　"Indeed, you have your skill," explained the man, "But have you taken notice of the fact that shoes are made for people and the silk taffeta are for hat-making? The people of Yue don't wear shoes, for they are barefooted. Again, they like to have their hair spread out over their heads and they never use hats. To whom should you sell your shoes and hats then?" Experienced though you are in the arts, yet the arts you have mastered are useless there."

　　After this explanation, the husband and wife now understood that anything that was not adaptable to the objective world would be useless and unpractical.
