Robert went to see his teacher after class and asked,“_21_ did I get an F?”
The teacher said, “You have no money. Your parents have no money. Ownig a horse ranch _22_ a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to buy the _23_. There's no way you could ever do it. _24_ you write a composition again, I will change your _25_.”
Robert went back home and thought about it long and hard. The next day he handed in the same composition, making no changes _26_. He said to his teacher, “You can keep the F and I'll keep my dream.”
Now, Robert owns a 200-acre horse ranch.
