Question

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.”
