Robert was1 a clever young man and got2 on well with his classmates. They all liked him and played with him though3 he often boasted4. He was strong and often had5 sports. He hoped6 to join the army7 when he left the middle school. Bad luck8! His leg was hurt in a traffic9 accident10 and he couldn't walk. He had to go to his home village and help his father to manage11 the farm. He read a lot of books on farming12 and did13 well in it. He got much money and bought a few14 farms next to his and ten years later15 he became16 the richest farmer in his village.
 
Once Robert met several17 friends in the capital18. Some of them were famous19 in their country. They knew nothing about their lame20 friend. It made21 him unhappy22 and he asked them to visit his farm. They agreed23 and went there with him. They saw24 a beautiful house with a big garden when they got there. They found25 he had a lot of sheep, pigs and cows. Robert and his family warmly received26 the guests27 from London. The next morning he took28 them to his farm. It was so large that they couldn't see the other end and it surprised29 them all.
 
"It'll take you two days to reach30 the other end of my farm by car!" Robert said31 happily32.
 
"I think something is wrong with your cars!" one of the guests said with a smile.
