The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David, Mother May and elder brother Rob. The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature. The village was at the foot of a mountain, with beautiful views of the snowy mountain. The family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees. Their life is totally surrounded by nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life, Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the village. She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life. She wanted to shop, move around the city, watch movies, and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes, etc.
However, there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they had everything in the village.
One day, Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep. Of course, she had a strange dream. She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased grandmother granted her a wish. Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol, but still wanted to convince her that the peaceful village life is better than the city life.
She told Carol, “Baby, you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from plants as you have at your home. You cannot breathe fresh air. You cannot play with animals. You can hardly find any trees. You will not find peace as you see here! Do you still want to go to the city?”
Without hearing the concerns, Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish. Grandmother granted her wish, but with a condition. Carol was told that she would only have 6 hours to spend in the city. Later, she would return to the village. Carol agreed.

Monty Roberts owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Francisco. He is willing to help the young who want to pursue their dreams. We are always curious about the reason behind and one day he told us his story.
When Monty was young, he was the son of an itinerant (游荡的) horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, his high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.
That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of owning a horse ranch someday. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.
He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front was a large red F with a note that read, “See me after class.”
The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, “Why did I receive an F?”
The teacher said, “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud (马群) fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”

It all began when my younger brother, Chris, and I went over to Aunt Barbara and Uncle Howard’s for Thanksgiving. My aunt and uncle live on a farm and Chris and I love going there. One day, Uncle Howard handed me two turkey eggs.
“You kids put those under a setting hen,” he said, “and in twenty-five days, you’ll have a couple of fine turkeys!”
Chris was so excited that he nearly dropped his egg on the way to the house. We both stuffed ourselves at dinner and then couldn’t wait to go home and tend to our eggs.
Twenty-five days seemed like forever. Finally, on the twenty-sixth day, Chris and I walked into the coop after school and spotted two balls of fluff, falling over their feet and looking sort of confused. It wasn’t long before the chicks lost their fuzz and began growing feathers. Chris name done Bill, and I named the other Timothy.
I don’t know what happened, but one day we found Bill dead beside the coop. Chris felt terrible. I told him that from now on, Timothy belonged to him, too.
Mom kept telling us not to get too attached to Timothy, because we were going to have him for Thanksgiving. But we never paid too much attention to what that really meant.
Then, one day toward the end of October, Dad penned Timothy up and gave Chris and me instructions.
“I want you to start giving him corn along with his regular feed,” he said. “We want a nice, fat bird for Thanksgiving.” After Dad turned and walked away, Chris began to cry.
“Don’t worry, Chris,” I said comfortingly. “Well save Timothy, somehow.”
“Why don’t we give him away?” Chris suggested.
“No,” I said. “If we do, he’ll just end upon someone else’s Thanksgiving table.”
“What if we take him out in the woods?”
“He always comes back at night,” I said. We both sighed.

As an only child, Nicole Renae often felt lonely in her youth. But that all changed when she turned ten. For her birthday, her grandmother surprised her with an adorable puppy named Chloe.
From the very start, the two were inseparable. “She was my best friend,” Renae says. Every ounce of love Renae gave, the little dog returned tenfold. “She was such a sweet dog,” Renae says. “She’d lick your face forever if you didn’t stop her.”
But when Renae was 14, her father got a new job that came with a devastating caveat: He’d be working from home, and the house needed to be free of audible distractions. “Chloe was very yappy,” Renae says. “I was just a kid, so I didn’t have any choice in the matter. I didn’t want to get rid of my dog. I just felt so sick and sad about it.”
With no easier option, the family surrendered Chloe to a humane society. Though they were optimistic that the dog would find a new home with people who loved her, they couldn’t know for sure. “I called the humane society to try to find out what happened to her,” Renae says, “but they couldn’t tell me anything. So I never knew.”
In time, Renae grew up, got married, and had a child of her own. But her family didn’t feel quite complete. Remembering the joy that having a dog had brought her as a kid, Renae wanted her daughter to experience the same. She had it in her mind that she would adopt a puppy, but then one day she saw a post on Facebook about a senior dog that needed a new home. The dog in the photograph looked a lot like Chloe-she was even named Chloe. In an instant it was decided: She would adopt this older dog.
