I used to watch a little girl playing basketball every day. One day I asked her why she practiced so
16 . She said, “I like basketball and I want to be the 17 player. My dad told me, ‘If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.’”
She never changed her mind. She practiced basketball every day. 18 one day before she graduated from high school, I saw her sitting on the grass 19 . I asked her what was wrong. She told me that her coach said she was 20 short to be a good basketball player. She was heartbroken. Then her father said to her, “If you 21 want to be a good basketball player, nothing but you 22 can stop your dream.” He told her 23 , “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”
The next year, she and her team went to a big match. She was 24 by a coach of a famous team and was given a chance to the 25 basketball team.
