A chain of letters in this work inquires if one man has a navel, speaks Aramaic, or is Norwegian. It discusses a sleepwalker who undoes the things he does during the day and a Portuguese insomniac kept awake by the sound of the stars. The title figure of this story loses credibility when a blind man grows three new teeth rather than recovering his sight. One character is struck by lightning while sneaking home from a dance, transforming her into a tarantula the size of a ram with the head of a woman. At the beginning of this story Elisenda's husband goes to throw into the sea some crabs that have gathered in his house during three days of rain and discovers a figure who only eats eggplant mush. Pelayo starts charging five cents for crowds to look into the chicken coop containing the title character of this story, who Father Gonzaga tries to discredit because he cannot speak Latin. For 10 points, name this Gabriel Garcia-Marquez short story titled after a stranded angelic figure.
