Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to _
16_ up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was _
17_ the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to _
18_ all his time lying on his back in bed.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he _
19_ pass the time by describing to his _
20 all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a _
21_ with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water _22_ children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk _
23_ among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine _
24_ of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window _
25_ all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and _
26_ the scene.
Days and weeks passed. On morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died _
27_ in his sleep. When the man’s body was _
28_, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the
_29_. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was _
30_, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself
_31_ to take his first look at the _
32_ world outside by himself. But to his _
33_, he found it faced nothing _
34_ a blank wall.
In fact, the man by the window was _
35_ and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.
