The boy dug around the rock,   38  to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy.

The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only   45  was to have the rock roll back.
Finally he   46  tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window   47  the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large   48  appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but   49 , he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”
