What can you see from the window? From the window, some people can see dry and fallen trees. But others can see the sunshine and hope outside the window. Two old men lived in the same hospital room. The first one could sit up for an hour every day. His bed was next to the window of the room. The second one was lying on the bed all day and couldn’t see clearly.
They would talk about their homes, jobs, families and friends, and what they would do when they left the hospital.
Every afternoon, a nurse would help the first man sit up. He then would tell the second man about the things that happened outside the window. The second man could feel that it was a beautiful world. It made him feel alive and he really wanted to thank the first man.
As time went on, the nurse found the first man had passed away one morning. The second man was very sad to hear that. After he became better, he asked to change the bed by the window to see the world. However, when he got there, he saw nothing but a wall.
The old man got surprised and asked the nurse why the first man lied (撒谎). The nurse replied that the man was blind. “Though he couldn’t see, he had a warm and big heart full of love.” She added.
