Due uomini, entrambi gravemente ammalati, occupavano la stessa stanza d'ospedale. Uno dei due doveva sedersi sul letto un'ora al giorno durante il pomeriggio per espellere delle secrezioni polmonari e respirare meglio.
Il suo letto si trovava di fianco all'unica finestra nella stanza.L'altro uomo era costretto a passare supino le sue giornate. I due compagni di sventura si parlavano per ore. Parlavano delle loro mogli e delle loro famiglie, descrivendo le loro case, il loro lavoro, la loro esperienza al servizio militare ed i luoghi dov'erano stati in vacanza. Ed ogni pomeriggio, allorche' l'uomo in bed by the window could sit down, they pass the time by describing to his roommate all he saw fuori.L 'man in the other bed began to live no more than an hour during those periods during which his world opened up and enriched by the activities' and the colors of the outside world.
From the bedroom, the view overlooked a park with a beautiful lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats to scale. The lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers in rainbow colors. Of trees decorate the landscape and could be seen in the distance the city 'profiles.
As the man by the window described all these details, the other closed his eyes and imagine the picturesque scene. On a beautiful afternoon, the man at the window described a parade passing in front of them. Although the other man had not been able to hear the orchestra, he was able 'to see with the eyes of his imagination, so his friend described it to the last days and weeks details. passarono.Una morning at the bathroom The nurse found the lifeless body of the man by the window, apparently died in his sleep.
Saddened, I call it 'the morgue workers' cause were withdrawing corpo.Non just feel 'that the time was appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved near' of the window. The nurse, potergli happy to give this small favor, I assure you 'of her comfort and let' alone. Slowly, in pain, he propped himself up 'a little, leaning on a stand, to cast a glance outside. Finally, he would have had the joy of seeing himself as his friend had described. He reached
'turn around slowly to the window near the bed and everything ...' he saw was a wall! The man asked 'nurse' cause his roommate's died had painted a different reality '. The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall. "Maybe he just wanted to encourage you, comment '.
There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, even in spite of our situation.
A pain shared is halved, but happiness when shared, is doubled. If you want to feel rich, just count the things you have that money can not buy.
Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present.
