    Two men, both seriously ill, shared the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the only window of the room. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their experiences in the army, and 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 when his world would be broadened and enlivened(有活力的)by all the activities and colors 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 among flowers of every color. Grand old trees made everything around more attractive, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all these in great 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 pictured 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(适当的), the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch(交换), and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it for himself.

    Slowly and painfully, he made his greatest possible efforts to look out of the window beside the bed.

    ……

    "The man was blind and could not even see the wall. Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you," the nurse answered.
