Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to
46 in his bed for an hour each afternoon for treatment. His
47 was next to the room's only window. The other man
48 spend all his time flat on his back. Every
49 when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he
50 pass the time by describing(描述) to his
51 all the things he could see outside the window. The window overlooked（远眺） a
52 with a lovely lake. Ducks played on the water while children
53 their model boats. Young lovers walked
54 among flowers. As the man by the window described all this beautifully, the other man would close his eyes and
55 the scene.
One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the
56 body of the man by the window, who had died
57 in his sleep. She was sad and
58 the hospital attendants (服务员) to take the body away.
59 it seemed appropriate (合适的), the other man asked if he could
60 next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch（调换）, and after
61 he was comfortable, she left him alone. Slowly and painfully, he sat up to take his
62 look at the world outside. Finally, he would have the
63 of seeing it for himself. He strained (紧张地) to slowly turn to
64 the window beside the bed. It faced a blank wall.
The man asked the nurse what could have forced his dead roommate to
65 those wonderful things outside this window. The nurse answered that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. She said, “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.”
