Success Stories - TWO PATIENTS AT THE HOSPITAL

There were two patients in a small hospital room. They were Tom and Bob. The room has only one window, and it happened that Tom’s bed was by the window. Everyday, Tom would relate to Bob about the beauty of the outside world he saw through the window. He told Bob about the
trees with green leafs, the flowers blooming, the weather, the children playing outside, and cars passing by. This kept Bob entertained since he was unable to see it for himself. However, as time went by, Bob became envious of Tom. He thought to himself, how nice it would be if he could see everything for himself. One night, Tom was very sick, and he asked Bob to call for help. Bob could have shouted for assistance, but he did not do so. He secretly wished that Tom would die, so that he could occupy the bed by the window. Tom did die, and Bob was moved to the bed beside the window. Bob was excited now that he had the opportunity to see the outside world with his own eyes. However, to his utter shock, the only view he got was a brick wall. He realized that he had lost a true friend in Tom, but it was too late now!
