My friend Monty Roberts told me a story about a young boy. One day at school, the boy was asked to write a paper 26 what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven – paper 27 his dream of owning a farm. He put a great deal of his heart into the paper and the next day he handed it in to his 28 . Two days later he received his paper back. On the 29 page was a large red F with a 30 that read, “See me after class.” The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, “ 31 did I receive an F?” The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. Owning a farm requires a lot of money. There’s no 32 a young man could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “ 33 you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your 34 .”
The boy went home and 35 about it long and hard. Finally, after a week, he turned in the 36 paper, making no changes.
Monty then said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting on my farm. I 37 have that school paper over fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago the same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my farm. When the teacher was 38 , he said, ‘Look Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream 39 . During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough courage not to 40 yours.”

I noticed the woman when I entered the newsroom. My secretary told me she wanted to put an ad to 36 a baby. So I suggested several 37 lines for these ads to her: 38 , Baby to love; or Dear Birth Mother, Let Us Help You. The ad would contain 39 about her and her husband: they were 40 , could afford to raise a child. But then something 41 me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their 42 were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t 43 .” She handed me a check and left with a 44 smile.
A week later the woman called in a 45 of delight: “Please don’t run the ad again. We ’ve connected with 46 . The baby is due in a month.” Good news. I asked her if she 47 keep in touch if the adoption 48 to have a happy ending. She agreed but added when the adoption was final she was 49 to give me the story.
One day my phone rang. I 50 her voice immediately. “The adoption is final. Would you like to come and meet him?” Happily, I made a (an ) 51 with her for the next day. “His name is Ben,” she said, as I started to take 52 . “He slept through the night from the start. Now he’s smiling and starting to turn over. Of course I’m not 53 him. If he is a little slow.” She paused. “ Oh, I should tell you Ben has Down’s Syndrome.(唐氏综合症)” I stopped writing . I wasn’t sure how to 54 . But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a 55 developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son. Both of them smiled. “You wanted a story with a happy ending,” said the woman “ You got it.”
