DOUBLE HAPPINESS >Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. > >One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon >to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the >room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on >his back. > >The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and >families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military >service, where they had been on vacation. > >And every afternoon when the man in the bed by the window could sit >up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the >things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed >began to live for those one-hour periods where his world would be >broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world >outside.
