Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was
allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the
fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window . The other
man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours
endless.
They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their
involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.
Every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he
would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could
see outside the window .
The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his
world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the
world outside.
The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on
the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm
in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline
could be seen in the distance.
As the man by the window described all this in exquisite detail, the man on
the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque
scene.
One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by.
Although the other man couldn't hear the band - he could see it. In his
mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive
words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to
find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in
his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the
body away.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved
next to the window . The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after
making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first
look at the real world outside.
He strained to slowly turn to look out the window beside the bed.
It faced a blank wall ..!!
The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who
had described such wonderful things outside this window .
The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.
She said, "Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you." | S**********e

多愁善感谈不上，哭点比较奇怪是真的。
可能，在某种程度上，我做过那个在窗边的人，也做过那个听故事的人。
多谢。周末愉快too。

The next day.
A new patient was moved to this room. He took the spot the old man used to
have, the one away from the window. The old guy was now having the spot
close to the window.
The new patient was not old, but he lost his leg in a car accident. With a
bad temper, he always cursed at everything. The nurses, the doctors, the
food, the dark room, the dirty ceiling. When he calmed down, he sometimes
talked about how he used to be. The old guy always listened, quietly.
Sometimes he commented a sentence or two, but mostly he didn't talk at all.
Things started to change in one warm afternoon. It was after the nerve
breakdown of the new guy. The medicine they gave to him made him no better.
He cursed again. Then he fell into long silence.
Very long silence.
"It is beautiful." The old guy suddenly said.
"What?" The new guy was puzzled.
"It is beautiful outside." The old guy said,
"There is a lovely lake down there. Ducks and swans are playing on
the water. Kids are sailing. Young lovers are walking arm
in arm. The city skyline could be seen in the distance."
The old guy started to have tears in his eyes.
"You could never imagine how beautiful this is. " | b*****l
