I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.
“Excuse me,”
I looked up and a nice-looking woman standing before me.
“Is your name Roger?” asked.
“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather confused(迷惑) as I had never seen her before.
“My name’s Barbara and my is Tony, “she he said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was and weak.
“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida.” She added.
I looked at that man for a few seconds, I didn’t recognize(认识) him.
“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,”I said.
She walked back, began with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.
I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
“Tony, the bully, the bad boy!” I could believe my eyes. “Jesus! He’ s so thin now. Not the big boy that I from back in 1977.”
Everything came up to my mind. The time this boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself a big man to all other students.
“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin trembling hand. “I am so sorry for that I did to you.”
“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to to him.
After a few months later, I received a letter from Barbara. Tony was . Tony had been a fireman and had been seriously wounded in a task.
How I regretted for not saying something to him but I no longer had the chance!

Shyness(害羞) means feeling frightened when you’re around other people. Some children were 1 shy. Some become very shy later because of their life experience. 2, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. It’s just how much they feel shy.
Most people have red faces and talk in 3 sentences when they are shy. But some become 4 shy that they won’t go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to 5 and pay for their food. Some are afraid of meeting 6 people, so they seldom go outside. This kind of shyness can be 7 for a person.
If shyness doesn’t stop you from doing something you want to do, being shy isn’t a big 8. Some experts(专家) say shy people are good at working because they think more and 9 less. But remember not to let good opportunities(机会) pass you just because of it. If you have to sing a song at a birthday party or give some performances in front of others, just do it. There’s nothing to 10.

In fact, I’ve never even thought about talking to her! I stared at (盯着) my paper and started to feel rather guilty (惭愧的). Finally, I handed in my paper 30 writing the answer to the last question.

I’ll never 33 that lesson. Everyone deserves our attention and we should try to get to know all the people who work and live around us. That was the most important 34 of my life. Later that day, I 35 that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.

I 13 a big breath. Then I began to talk. It wasn't hard. It was easy.
