This time, I’ve brough you all the summary of this short story, which to me is kinda weird. I hope you all like the summary and give yourself time to read the whole story.

“A very old man with enormous wings is a short story written by GABO. The author introduces the normal life of Pelayo, Elisenda and their newborn child, who during a rainy day met an old winged man lying on the courtyard of their house. The event was so spontaneous and scary that they decided to call a wise woman, which told them that the old winged man was an angel who had came to take their sick child. After that, they were cautious of the angel and locked him in a chicken coop, but it was useless because the child healed days after the angel’s arrival. The parents thought that maybe the angel needed help to get back, so they gave him provissions for 3 days expecting him to leave, but he didn’t and instead of it the neighbors noticed the angel and all around the chicken coop was getting crowded by people who wanted to see him. It was so crowded that Elisenda charged five cents to see the angel and the family started getting lots of money. The angel got very famous in town, which made the Father Gonzaga meet the angel; he got impressed and tried to talk to him in Latin to see if the angel was real, but he got no response, which made him write a letter for the highest court, who told him to do nothing because it was not an urgency. One day, the show of a girl who became a spider came to town, it was cheaper to see her and people could ask her any questions. Soon, people forgot about the angel and went to see the spider girl. Anyway, Pelayo and Elisenda got rich and decided to build a mansion and keep the chicken coop for the Angel. Years passed by and the Angel was getting annoying. He also got sick one day, but when he recovered, he flew far away from the house and left”
