We went to visit the famous farmer Monty’s farm last week, and he told us a story.
Once a teacher said to a boy, “This is an impossible dream for you. You come from a poor family. You have no money to buy the land or the best horses. There’s no way you could do it. But if you rewrite this paper, I would like to change your grade.”
The boy went home and thought hard. However, he handed in the same paper the next day. He said, “You can keep the F and I’ll still keep my grade.” “Who was the boy?” Monty continued. “It was me. I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre farm. And two years ago the teacher took 30 students to visit my farm. When he was leaving, he said, ‘look, Monty, when I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years, I stole a lot of kid’s dreams. Luckliy, you had enough courag not to give up yours.
