Two men were sick in hospital.  They  were in the same room.  One man could sit up on his bed for an
hour each afternoon.  His bed  was next to the room's only window.  The other man had to spend all of his
time lying in bed. Every afternoon when the man by the window sat up, he would describe to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. "There is a lovely lake in the park.
      Ducks and swans are playing on the  water while  children are sailing  their model boats. Young lovers
are walking arm in arm around flowers of every color. " As the man described all these, the other man lying on the bed would close his eyes and imagine the beautiful scene.
      Days and weeks passed, One morning, the man by the window died. Then the other man  moved to
the bed by the window. He took his first look at the real world outside. He tried his best to find the
beautiful scene, but it was just a blank wall! The man asked the nurse   why his roommate had  described
such wonderful things outside this window. The nurse told the man his roommate was blind and could not
even see the wall.
