A Colourful World
Mr Longman and Mr Martin were both badly ill . Mr Longman was able to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon. His bed was next to the only window of the room. Mr Martin had to spend all his time lying on his back. So they talked for hours without stopping. .
And every afternoon when Mr Longman could sit up in his bed, he would talk about all the things that he could see outside the window. Mr Martin believed that his world was made "larger" by the "colourful" outside world. Out of the window it was a park with a lovely lake. Mr Longman told Mr Martin about the beautiful ducks swimming freely on the water, happy children playing around, colourful flowers and big old trees around the lake. , Mr Martin closed his eyes and tried to make the richest pictures for himself in his mind.
Days and weeks passed. Mr Longman got better. . Then Mr Martin asked the nurse if he could move to the other bed. Happily for him, the nurse said he could. When everything was done, he tried hard to raise himself a bit to see what was outside. , to his surprise, he saw nothing but a wall,
