Learning experience happens to us throughout our lives．Not long ago I had one that I would like to 1．

I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team．The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 2 we realized we were 3．Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead．I had a brand-new ＄20 bill．I was so 4 because I had never had that kind of cash before．But spending it on 5 seemed like throwing it away．We all rushed into the pizza line．6 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table．About halfway through the meal, I 7 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier．I had just 8 out, and nobody had noticed．I felt terrible．

My conscience opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite．I couldn't 9 over it．I just couldn't go back to the cashier and 10 for my stolen pizza．I was so upset that I 11 to give myself the pleasure of an ice cream in 12 that someone would say “Hey, Jeff, why don't you use the change 13 the pizza instead of that nice, new ＄20 bill?”I was not so 14 of my cash now．

For the next two years, whenever I was 15 of the“Pizza incident”, I would say to myself“Don't think about it any more”．

I have learned two things from this 16．Maybe I was a fool for 17 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 18 pizza．But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 19 up with you．

This reflects the saying“A coward dies a thousand deaths, a hero dies one．”I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times．If I had been a“20”and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice．
