and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail，

　　the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene.

　　One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band，

　　he could see it in his eye as the man by the window described it. Unexpectedly，

　　an alien thought entered his head： Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything？ It didn't seem fair. As the thought fermented (发酵)，

　　the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights，

　　his envy became resentment and soon turned him sour. These dark thoughts made himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window—and that thought now controlled his life.

　　Late one night，

　　as he lay staring at the ceiling，

　　the man by the window began to cough uncontrollably and pushed the button calling for help. But he never moved，

　　never pushed his own button，

　　which would have brought the nurse running. In about five minutes the man was gone.

　　When his body was taken away，

　　the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. His wish was soon granted (满足).
