I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场). The last time I was there he told me a story about ______.
He was the son of a horse trainer who used to go from ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually ______. When he was a senior, he was ______ to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he ______.
He wrote a seven-page ______ describing his goal of someday ______ a large horse ranch and handed it to his ______. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note ______, “See me after class.”
Monty went to see the teacher and asked, “______ did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic (不可实现的) dream for a young boy like you. There is no way you can ever do it. If you ______ this paper with a more realistic goal I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about it ______ and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to ______ your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important ______ for you.” Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the _____ paper. He stated, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my ______.”
“The ______ part of the story is that two summers ago the same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week.” Monty went on with the story, “When the teacher was ______ he said, ‘Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was ______ of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. ______ you had enough courage not to give up on yours.’”
“Don’t let anyone ______ your dreams. Follow your dream, no matter what happens,” Monty added.
