NAME:
There was a boy different from other boys: he had a black right eye, a blue left one and a bare head. The neighbors mocked him and shouted:
– It's naked!
They screamed so much that he got used to it, he found the right nickname, he was able to sign himself in charcoal on the walls: Dr. Raimundo Pelado. He was of good temper and didn't get angry; but the local boys fled when they saw him, hid behind the trees in the street, changed their voices and asked what had happened to his hair.
Having no one to get along with, Raimundo Pelado talked alone, and the others thought he was crazy.
