i am going to blog once a month(:I
've found a wonderful story(:
and I want to share it with you(:
hospital window(:
Once there was two men, both was seriously ill :(
they were staying in the same hospital room.
One man was allow to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs, and his bed was beside the room's only window.
But, the other in the room had to spend all his time lying flat on his back.
The two men talked for hours very oftenly.they talked about their families,their home,their job and how they enjoyed their vacations with their famlies before they were in hospital.
Every afternoon, when the men by the bed could sit up, the would spent all his time describing to his roomate about the beatiful things he could see otuside the window.The man in the other bed began to live for those one hourperiods where his world will be broadened and enlived by the activites and the colours of the world outside.The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake.Ducks and swans played on the water while the children sailed the boats they made by thmeselves.Young lovers walked arm in arm together, admist of every colourand a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in a distance.
As the man by the window described the wonderful things he could see, he man on the bed would close his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene.
One day, the man by the bed was describing about a parade that was passing by.Although the man could not hear the band, but he could see it.In his mind's eyeas the man by the window protrayed it with descriptive words.
Days and weeks passed.
One morning, the nurse came in to bring water for their baths and found the lifeless body of the man by the window, he had died peacefully in his sleep.
She was saddened and told the hospital attandants tot ake the body away.As soon as it seem appropriate,the other man asked if he could be moved to the bed beside the window.The nurse was happy to make the switch and as soon she made sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, the propped himself up on an elbow to take the first look at the colourful and interesting otuside world.he starined to slowly look at the window beside the bed. But suprisingly, IT FACED A BLANK WALL.The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his desceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.
The nurse responded that he was blind and could not even see the wall at all.
she said," perhaps he just wanted to encourage you."
There is tremendous happiness in making other happy despite our own situations.Share grief is half the sorrow,but when happiness is shared, it is DOUBLED(:
If you want to feel rich,just count all the things you have that money can't buy.
