But when it washed up on the beach, they removed the clumps of seaweed, the jellyfish tentacles, and the remains of fish and flotsam, only then did they see it was a drowned man.They had been playing with him all afternoon, burying him in the sand and digging him back up again.
He has the face of someone called Esteban.
They walked about like startled hens... and after a great deal of get away from there, woman, stay out of the way, look, you almost made me fall on top of the dead man, the men began to feel mistrust in their livers...
This was how they came to hold the most splendid funeral they could conceive for an abandoned drowned man...there were so many flowers and so many people that it was hard to walk about.
They let him go without an anchor so that he could come back if he wished and whenever he wished, and they all held their breath for the fraction of centuries the body took to fall into the abyss.
But they also knew that everything would be different from then on, that their houses would have wider doors, higher ceilings, and stronger floors... they were going to paint their house fronts gay colors.... planting flowers on the cliffs.... that's Estaban's village.
