Two men, both seriously ill, were in the same hospital room. One man was allowed to _36_ up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was _37_ the room’s only window. The other man on the other side of the room had to _38_ all his time lying on his back in bed.
Every afternoon when the man by the window could sit up he _39_ pass the time by describing to his _40_ all the things he could see outside the window. “The window overlooks a _41_ with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans play on the water _42_ children sail their model boats. Young lovers walk _43_ among flowers of every colour. Grand old trees grace(装扮) the landscape, and a fine _44_ of the city skyline can be seen in the distance.” As the man by the window _45_ all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and _46_ the scene.
Days and weeks passed. One morning, the day nurse came only to find the man by the window had died _47_ in his sleep. When the man’s body was _48_, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the _49_. The nurse agreed and after making sure he was _50_, she left. Slowly and painfully, the man raised himself _51_ to take his first look at the _52_ world outside by himself. But to his _53_, he found it faced nothing _54_ a blank wall.
In fact, the man by the window was _55_ and could not even see the wall. He just wanted to encourage his roommate.

I have recently completed my college degree. The last project was called “Smile”. The class was asked to go out to smile at three people and document their reactions(反应). I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake.
My husband, the youngest son and I went out to McDonald. We were standing in line when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away. As I turned around I smelled a horrible body odour(气味) and saw two poor homeless men standing behind me. As I looked at the short blue-eyed gentleman closest to me, he was “smiling”. The second man fumbled(摸索)with his hands as he stood behind his friend.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all, Miss,” because that was all they could afford.
Then I really felt it — I embraced(拥抱)the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked two more breakfast meals on and gave them to the men.
The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald’s and every soul that heard the story in the classroom. But, I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn.

The blue-eyed gentleman looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.” When I sat down my husband smiled at me. We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that because of the good fortune that we had been given.
I turned in my project. My teacher said, “Can I share this?” I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings share this need to heal people and to be healed.
