Two men, John and Tom, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. John was allowed to sit
up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the room ’s only window. But Tomhad to spend all his time flat on his back.
Every afternoon when John could sit up, he would describe to Tom all the things he couldsee outside the window. Tom was so attracted by the description that he could not wait for thoseone-hour periods. The window faced a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and birds played on thewater while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm and a fine view ofthe city could be seen in the distance. As John described all this in detail, Tom would close hiseyes and imagine the beautiful scenes.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the nurse found that John had passed awaypeacefully in his sleep. The next day, Tom asked if he could be moved to the bed next to thewindow. The nurse was happy to do this, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left himalone.
Slowly, painfully, Tom supported himself up with one arm to take his first look at the realworld outside, but only faced a blank wall. When the nurse came back, Tom asked her what hadmade John describe such wonderful things outside this window. She said that John was blind andcould not even see the wall. “Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you,” she added.
