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 lying flat on his back.The two men talked for hours on end the spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service 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 broadend and excited by all the activities and the 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 and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance .
As the man by the window described all this in 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 figured it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the 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 .

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. He supported himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He slowly turned to look out of the window beside the bed. To his surprise, it faced a blank wall.
Later the man asked the nurse why his roommate describesd such wonderful things, the nurse responded that the man was blind and perhaps he described the beautiful scene outside the window just to encourage him. There is great happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations. Shared grief is half the sorrow but happiness when shared is doubled.(共同分担悲伤,痛苦减半,共同分享快乐,幸福加倍)。
