In his seven-page paper he described his 37 of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a 38 floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would 39 on a 200-acre dream ranch. Two days later he received his 40 back. On the front page was a 41 red F. The teacher said, ‘This is an 42 dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.’ Then the teacher 43 , ‘If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your 44 .’ The boy asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own 45 on this. However, I think it is a very

46 decision for you.’ 47 , after a week, the boy 48 the same paper, making no 49 at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my 50 .’ Monty then turned to us and said, “I tell you this story 51 you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed (装框) over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the 52 is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, he said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was 53 of a dream stealer.
