原文

于是，伯父家盖房，想以它垒山墙，但苦于它极不规则，没棱角儿，亦没平面儿；用錾破开吧，又懒得花那样大气力，由于河滩并不甚远，随便去掮一起回来，哪一起亦比它强。

译文

Thus my uncle had wanted to use it for the gable when he was building a house, but he was troubled to find it of very irregular shape, with no edges nor corners, nor a flat plane on it. And he wouldn’t bother to break it in half with a chisel because the river bank was nearby, where he could have easily fetched a much better stone instead.
