B
When Peter's family was having dinner, his father asked, "Was there anything in our past that we regretted(后悔)? Maybe we can find ways to say sorry." This made Peter think about it carefully the whole night.
Peter remembered what happened in his middle school. In his school, there was a worker, Neil Stone. Some students didn't like the man at all. One night, Peter and two of his classmates decided to play a trick on him. They found some red paint, and wrote on the school main road in bright red: Neil Stone is a fool! The whole school saw these words the next day. Within two hours, Neil had Peter and his classmates go to his office. His classmates said what they did, but Peter lied, denying(否认) the truth. After that, no one ever talked about it.
This morning, Peter went back to his middle school. Neil Stone is still working there. "Sorry, Neil. Do you still remember what happened ten years ago? I want you to know that I did it." "I knew it at that time!" Neil laughed. They had a good laugh and a good chat. Neil said, "Peter, I always felt bad for you because your classmates got it off their minds, and I knew you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for visiting me."
Peter knows that it is never too late to clear up the past and make a fresh start.
