Is there a source where you can find out where stories of this kind come from?
There were two prisoners who looked out from the window of their cell.
One saw sand.
The other saw stars.

As the story goes of an anonymous young bride during World War II who was having difficulty adapting to the California desert and the never-ending duties of her husband, we need to hear and heed the couplet her mother included in her reply letter which marked the turning point in the young woman’s life

I don't know where this story came from but I would think it's a bit like the two men who are in the gutter, one is lying face down, the other one face up and is looking at the stars. It's about whether your glass is half full or half empty, personally mine is half full!

Two men looked out from behind the same bars.
One saw the mud, the other the stars.
That is how it goes.

It almost sounds like a fable illustrating points of view.

It doesn't make a whole lot of sense-- big deal, sand may be great to someone, just as stars are.............
