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," suddenly a soft voice came into my ear.

I looked up and _______ a nice-looking woman standing before me.

"Is your name Roger?"_______ asked.

"Yes, " I answered, feeling rather confused(困惑的) as I had never seen her before.

"My name’s Barbara and my _______ is Tony," she 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(听起来不耳熟), "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. Suddenly it came to me like a flash of lightning.

"Tony, the bully(横行霸道者), 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."
