He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps (脚步声) and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.”What he had w ritten was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy
could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.

This is a story of myself. When I was young, my father had to go from ranch to ranch(牧场，农场)to train horses.(1) Day by day, I liked to be with him all day, so I often couldn’t go to _______. One day, my teacher Mrs Black asked me to write about my _________.
That night, I wrote a very long paper. I wrote that I wanted to have a horse ranch. (2) I even wrote about how many horses I wanted to have and how large my ranch would be. It took me hours to finish it. The next day, I gave the paper to Mrs Black. Two days later, she gave it back to me. She wrote a large red F on the paper.
After class I went to see Mrs Black and asked,“Why did I get an F?”She said,“This is unrealistic (不切实际的) for you. You have no money. There’s no way you could do it. Write it again.”
I went home and thought about it long and hard. I asked my father what I should do. My father said,“Mike, you have to make a decision (决定) on this.Ｉthink it is a very important decision for you.”
At last, I gave the same paper back to Mrs Black and made no changes at all. I said,“You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”
Now I have my own horse ranch. I still have that school paper in my bedroom.
Two years ago, Mrs Black brought 30 kids to visit my ranch.When she left, she said,“Mike, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was a dream stealer. During those years, I stole(偷) a lot of kids’ dreams. Now I should say sorry.”
