Monty Roberts often let me use his house to hold fund-raising events to raise money for young people in need.
The last time I was there he
36 me to a group of people by saying, “I want tell you
37 I let Jack use my house. It
38 a story about a young man. When he was a high school student, he was asked to write a paper about his 39 .”
“That night be wrote a seven-page paper
40 his goal of someday owning a horse ranch (大牧场). He wrote about his dream in great
41 and he even drew a picture of a 200-acre ranch, showing the
42 of all the buildings, the stables(马厩)and the track. Then he drew a detailed plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would
43 on a 200-acre ranch.”
“When he received his paper, he found that there was a big red ‘F’ on the front page with a note
44 , ‘see me after class.’”
“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive an F?’”
“The teacher said, ‘This is a(an)
45 dream for a young boy like you. If you
__46 this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your
47 .’”
“Finally, after a week, the boy handed in the same paper, making no
48 . He stated, ‘You can
49 the F and I’ll keep my dream.’”
“I told you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot
50 in the middle of my 200-acre ranch. I still have that school
51 .”
He added, “That
52 teacher came to my ranch. Before leaving, he said, ‘During those years I
53 a lot of kids’ dreams. 54 , you didn’t give up yours.
Don’t let anyone steal your dream. Follow your
55 , no matter what.
