The boy went home and thought about it for a    44    and hard time.He asked his father what he should do.His father said, “Look, son, you have to    45   your own mind on this.Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no    46   at all.He told his teacher “you could keep the F and I    47   keep my dream.

Monty tell me this   48    because I am sitting in his 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch.He said a lot of kids’s    49   can be stole.Don't let anyone steal your dreams.Follow your heart, no matter what.   50   he had enough gumption(毅力) not to give up my dream.
