　Curly is my big black dog. He is so strong that he can carry me on his back. He likes to run and play with me. He likes to follow my father around in the fields too. One day my father took off his coat and laid it on the ground under a big tree. Curly stood watching him. My father said, “Watch my coat, Curly.”

　Curly sat down on the coat. My father forgot all about his coat and went home without it. Late in the evening I missed my dog. I looked everywhere for him, calling, “Curly, Curly!” But Curly did not come. Soon my father wanted something that was in his coat pocket(兜). Then he remembered (記起) what he had done. He went back to the big tree. What do you think he saw? Curly was sitting on the coat so that nobody could carry it away.

Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to   1  with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to   2   food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a   3   farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper   4   what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper   5   his dream of having a horse farm one day. He   6   drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed   7   in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.”   8   the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not   9   for a young boy like you.   10   a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you write this paper again with a   11   dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it   12  . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making   13   changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my   14  .”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.
