Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town.There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked.One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 45 on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生).The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 46 .Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office.My friends told the truth but I 47 .No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later.Sheriff Brown's name 48 on my list.I didn't even know if he was still 49 .Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few 50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused."Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins."

Jimmy inspired me to 54 all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings.
