Dos alas

One morning, Guillermo found a pair of wings in his garden. He asked himself, whose could they be? No one knew, and no one came to claim them. One day, he got up the courage to touch them, and they awaken his memories in a poetic and philosophical story about the end of life.

Una mañana, el señor Guillermo se encontró unas alas en su jardín. «¿De quién serán?», se pregunta. Pero nadie las reclama, nadie sabe nada. Hasta que un día se atreve a tocarlas y despiertan sus recuerdos. Una historia poética y fi losófi ca sobre el fi nal de la vida.
