（单词翻译:单击）

The teacher asked her class what each wanted to become when they grew up. A chorus¹ of responses² came from all over the room.

"A football player," said Jim.

"A doctor," said Alfred.

"An astronaut," said Suzy.

"The president," said little Al. (Everyone laughed).

"A fireman," said Fred.

"A teacher," said Lisa.

"A race car driver." said Mario.

Everyone that is, except Tommy.

The teacher noticed he was sitting there quiet and still. So she said to him, "Tommy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Possible." Tommy replied.

"Possible?" asked the teacher.

"Yes," Tommy said. "My mom is always telling me I'm impossible. So when I get to be big, I want to be possible."
