One of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day, he   3  hours telling his friend what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park and the birds flying around．The old man far from the window got a lot of  4  from hearing about the world outside, but after a time, he began to get rather unhappy.   5  nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see   6   himself.
