Window
Bill and John，both seriously ill，lived in the same room at Marie Hospital．John lived next to the only window of the room and was allowed to
36 in his bed and watch for an hour every day．But Bill had to spend all his time
37 on his back．
They became friends soon and talked for hours every day．They spoke of their families，their children，their hobbies，and their
38 in the American army．Each day John would sit up and
39 to his roommate Bill what he could see outside the window．
Through John’s description，Bill’s world was
40 and brightened by all the activities and colors of the outside world．The window overlooked a beautiful park with a lovely
41 ,John told Bill．Ducks played on the water
42 children sailed their model boats．And a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance．As John described all these
43 ,Bill would close his eyes and
44 the picturesque scene．Bill was recovering
45 . However，John became weak day by day．
Late one night，Bill was lying in bed
46 the ceiling when John began to cough seriously．Then doctors and nurses rushed to the room．Thirty minutes later, John
47 coughing．Now，there was only silence—
48 silence．
The following morning，Bill was moved to the bed next to the window at his request．Slowly and
49 ，he supported himself up on one elbow （胳膊）to take the first look．But to his
50 ，he could see nothing but a
51 wall．
Only at that moment did he begin to realize that the pursuit（追求）of happiness was a matter of
52 ．It was a positive attitude we chose to express．It was not a gift that was
53 to our doorstep each morning，nor did it come through the window．It was all inward journey．Whether a man is happy or not depends on his own thoughts
54 anything outward．
So Bill began to describe the
55 world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.
