生木造屋。高阳应打算盖一所房子。他请来了很多的工人去伐树，刚砍回来的树木堆在院子里，他就对木匠说：现在木材已经齐了，一根都不少，你可以动工了。木匠说：不行啊！这些木材都是刚伐回来的，还没干，如果把泥抹上去，一定会被压弯。用新砍下来的湿木料盖房子，刚盖成虽然看起来挺牢固，可是过些日子就要倒塌了。高阳应说：照你的话，我这房子倒是保险坏不了？因为日后木材会越干越硬，泥土会越干越轻，以越来越硬的木材承担越来越轻的泥土，房子自然就坏不了。木匠无话可答，只得听从他的吩咐去做。高阳应的房子刚盖成的时候看起来也还不错，以后果然倒塌了。大道理：办什么事都必须遵循客观规律。不顾一切地按照自己的主观意志蛮干，那就必然会失败。
