Question

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 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.
