    In 1895, when he was 52, my grandpa, Dennis Fitzpatrick Sr. , had a young man's dream. He        1        to own land and build a barn(谷仓) and house on it. In order to        2        the dream, he left Hubbardston, Michigan and went to north to Slabtown. In the place, there was 80-acre wasted land with         3        fence(篱笆) and big bushes everywhere. Grandpa walked around the land, dreaming of the day when he would         4       it into green meadow(牧场). where there are fields of crops, wandering         5       , a big barn and a new house.
    He         6        there and started working. In the summer, a 4-acre field         7        a lot of crops and in the fall, he started working on a new        8       , carrying stones from a mile away. After the bam completed, a new house was started. By the age of 82, his dream had         9        30 years after he started.
    But by the 1990s the barn was in bad need of         10        or it would fall apart. So we worked to make it as strong as before. During the past years, it had         11        family, gathering, wedding reception, neighborhood parties         12        music and dancing, Christmas ball and more.
    Grandpa is gone now, but his         13        is still with us. Now I, his great-grandson,         14        the land that he cleared. All seven of my         15        live on or within a mile of the farm. Grandpa's dream so long ago—green meadow, fields of crops and a big barn—is now         16       by his many descendants(子孙) more than a        17       later.
