There comes a time for every child when fantasies end and reality begins．Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny 36 to be Mum and Dad，and heroes fade away．I don’t know if most people remember this 37 ,but I know when it happened to me．

On an ordinary summer’s day，my grandfather told me one of his crazy stories．I 38 off to find the Indians that Grandpa said lived in the woods．But after some hours’ searching without success I 39 ．Tired and 40 ，I went to ask Grandpa．

“How could none of your 41 ever come true?”

“Well，sometimes you have to make them come true，”he answered．“I once had a friend named Huck Finn who made his own 42 ．”

He started to tell me about his friend Huck，who 43 down the Mississippi River on a raft．I sat listening to him and believing every word he said．When he finished，I went off to have my own adventure．

Two hours later I had a small and 44 raft．I took it to the pond along with 45 from a tree to use as an oar．(桨)I couldn’t swim and had been told many times to stay away from 46 ．But today I had the raft，so with a big shove；I 　47 it out and jumped on top．

I was fine for a total of four seconds；then I started to 48 ．Frightened，I tried to use the branch to paddle 49 ,but only pushed myself farther out．Knowing that I would drown，I did 50 any other nine-year-old boy would do in a similar 51 :I screamed．

From the edge of the pond came my sister and cousins who easily 52 me．As my raft sank，so did my 53 in my grandpa．Although I never 54 loving him，something changed in our relationship that day．

　55 now，I can see that the change wasn’t in my grandfather，but in me．I was growing up．
