To Hill's surprise, his stepmother went up to him with a smile, held up his head and looked at him carefully.She then turned around to tell her husband, “You're wrong.He is not the worst boy in the entire shire, but the cleverest and creative boy.Only he doesn't find a place to show himself.”

From the pictures, we know that Frank dreamed to become a doctor when he was 15 years old. However, 45 years later he still dreams to be a doctor lying in bed. It is clear that he lives in the dream without any actions. This is the reason why he has failed to realize his dream.
