Question

A man named Hayden was seriously ill in a hospital. Another patient named Kevin was in the same room with him. But Hilary’s bed was next to the window; Kevin’s was in the corner.

The two men talked a lot. Every afternoon Hilary passed the time by describing to his roommate Kevin all the things he could see outside the window. He described there was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats and grand old trees graced the landscapes. As Hilary described all those in details, Kevin closed his eyes and imagined the sceneries.

The days passed and Kevin missed seeing more sights, so he began to brood(沉思) and found himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window. Late one night, Hilary began to cough. In less than five minutes, there was only silence—deathly silence. Hilary died in the bed next to the window.

The following morning, Kevin asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to do that for him. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing the scenes all himself. He slowly looked out of the window beside the bed. It was nothing but faced a black wall.
