He wrote about his dream in great ___18___ and he even drew a picture to show a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch. The next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, "See me after class." Roberts went to see the teacher and asked, "Why did I receive an F?" His teacher said, "This is a(an) ___19___ dream for a young boy like you. Having a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There's no way you could ever do it."
