“ Yes Mum, great day at school !”

Listen….

There was once a hospital room with only two beds.

One bed, by the window was occupied by a seriously ill patient.

The other was occupied by a patient who had to lie down all the time.

The man by the window could sit up for one hour every day.

The man lying down asked him to describe what he could see from the window….

“ Well,” said the man by the window…….

He described the lovely park and the children playing.

“ There’s an ice-cream van with people queuing to buy a delicious treat.”

“ I can just see a lake with swans swimming..”

Every day the man by the window described what was outside.

The months went by and the seasons changed.

Soon the lake was frozen.

Sadly, one morning, a nurse discovered that the man by the window had passed away in his sleep.

Soon the man who could not sit up was moved to the bed by the window.

The first thing he did was….

To look out of the window…

All he could see was a dreary brick wall.

He called the nurse…..

“My dear friend described so many things to me from this window…but there’s just a brick wall.”

The nurse replied:

“ Your friend was blind –he couldn’t see a thing.”

“ Perhaps, he just wanted to make you happy ?”
