Running find in all directories except one

hi,

in a directory called dir1 with subdir :

dir11
dir12
dir13
dir14

i'm using this kind of request in ksh:

find /dir1 -name '*txt' |wc -l

i want now to run the same request but without going down in the subdir dir14

is there a simple way to do that ?
if not what do you suggest :
keeping the wanted subdirs in a special file and looping the find in it on each subdir ?

i 'll appreciate your help

regards
Christian
