Written by the Richard Wilbur, “Boy at the Window” tells the story of a little boy who's been pity for a snowman and was felt pitied by the snowman as well. They both are ashamed of each other. When the boy starts crying the snowman moves from there however, he's no desire to get in and loss the life. One tear also drops from the eye of snowman for the boy in return. They both did not understand the perceptions of life of each other (Cummins, 2004).
