The house is not large enough ____ .

Monty Roberts, owner of a horse ranch (牧场) in San Ysidro, once told us a story. “When a young man was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to __ 36__  and do when he grew up. In his seven-page paper he described his __37__ of someday owning a horse ranch. He drew a __ 38__ floor plan（平面图）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. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. __54__you had enough determination not to give up on yours.”

Don’t let anyone__55__ your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.
