Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to  21  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to 22  food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a 23  farm.

The next day he handed 27   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   28  the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not 29   for a young boy like you. 30   a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   31  dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it 32 . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making 33  changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 34 .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

He saw an open window. He closed his eyes and imagined himself climbing the building. When he opened his eyes , he told himself, “I can do it.” Fifteen minutes later, he was in his house and his fear of heights was gone.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (牧马场). The last time I was there he told me his story.

When he was young, his family is too poor to have a house to live in. One day when he was in a high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch. He also drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a beautiful farm. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F. Roberts asked, “Why did I receive an F?” His teacher said, “This is an unrealistic (不现实的) dream for a young boy like you. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.” Then the teacher added, “ If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider (重新考虑) your grade.”

The boy went home and thought about it for a long and hard time. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to change your own mind on this.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy handed in the same paper, making no changes at all. He told his teacher “You can keep the F and I still keep my dream.”

Monty said a lot of kids’ dreams can be stolen. Don’t let anyone steal your dream. Follow your heart, no matter what others think. Have enough gumption (毅力) till your dream comes true.
