"He is third in line to be the country’s emperor. "

0He is third in line to be the country’s emperor. 02br
02br
00in this sentence, why isn't the definite article 'the' placed before 'third' ?02br
02br
00is it ok that we use 'first,second, or third' without 'the' before them?02br
02br
00and one more question, I read a sentence on the note cover. it says 02br
02br
00"How lucky we are to be as on with thoughts and dreams"02br
02br
00and I don't understand 'as on with' part.02br
02br
00Is this sentence meaning just " we are lucky to have thoughts and dreams"?0-
