Question

I used to watch a little girl playing basketball every day. One day I asked her why she practiced so   1  . She said, “I like basketball and I want to be the    2  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.    3   one day before she graduated from high school, I saw her sitting on the grass    4 . I asked her what was wrong. She told me that her coach said she was   5   short to be a good basketball player. She was heartbroken. Then her father said to her, “If you    6   want to be a good basketball player, nothing but you    7   can stop your dream.” He told her    8  , “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    9   by a coach of a famous team and was given a chance to the    10   basketball team.
