Two soldiers, both seriously wounded were lying together in the hospital. One of them, every day I had to sit in his bed that he drew water from the lungs. His bed was located next to the only window in the room.
Another soldier was forced to lie constantly on his back.They met and started talking all day. They talked about their families, their homes, about work, where they were in the army, and where to vacation. Every day is a soldier who was sitting by the window described another soldier who has seen things out there.
The soldier on the other bed began to live for those unique moments when his friend sat and talked about events and colors of the outside world. "I see a park with a lake with swans." Began the first soldier. "Ducks and swans played in the water, and the kids down to their small boats to sail. Young couples cuddled walk with flowers of various colors. Big and strong trees beautifies the environment, and the distance you can see the lights of the city. "

He asked the nurse right away that this was the reason for his late friend as nice things described in the outside world. His sister sai😛 "This soldier was blind. I do not know why you so describe things in the outside world. Maybe you wanted to make you happy! "
