Question

Monty was the son of a horse trainer. When he was in his ninth grade, he was asked to write a1 about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper saying that someday he’d2 a horse ranch (牧场). He wrote about his dream in great detail and he3 drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch with all the buildings.
He put a great deal of his4 into the project and the next day he handed it in5 his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a6 that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “7 did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an8 dream for a young boy like you. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of9. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no10 you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “11 you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”
The boy went home and thought about12 long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important13 for you.”
Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the14 paper, making no changes at all. He said to the teacher, “You can keep the F and I’11 keep my15.”
