A STORY OF TWO ILL MEN

Two seriously ill men shared a room in a hospital. They both lay on their beds, but only one
of them could stay seated for half the day.

He had the advantage of being next to the only window in the room. His partner, on the other
hand, was always lying on his back because he could not move.

Every day when the first man sat down to look at the window just after lunch, he described
everything he saw outside. In this way his companion who was in bed could "see" through
him all things.

The description was as follows: there was a park and a beautiful lake. Swans swam, children
made paper boats in the water, and everything was a beautiful landscape in the distance.

The man who was looking at the window described everything in detail, as if he were living it
and his friend, lying on his back in that cold bed, imagined every scene.

The days passed and one morning the nurse entered the room and saw that the man in the
window had died, in the most peaceful way while he was sleeping.

His roommate was extremely saddened by the news and asked the nurses to move his bed to
the side of the window to see those beautiful things that his roommate was talking about.

They did so and then left him alone in the room. He tried to get up on his elbows with
difficulty, until he could see out the window, but his surprise was that all he saw was a huge
white wall.

He immediately called the nurse and asked desperately: "How could my friend see all these
things and tell me about it?"

She replied that her friend was blind and it was not possible that he had seen all those
wonderful things. To comfort him she said: "He just wanted to cheer you up, because there is
no better thing than other people want to make you happy, regardless of their own problems,
because when you share happiness, it doubles." Have a wonderful day.
