Udo
The strange
silhouette was drawing itself on the orange background of neon lights. The
newcomer was surprised by that appearance and did not want to continue
contemplating it. So he closed his eyelids tightly and began to pray.
Someone
spoke very slowly in his ear:
"Don't you know Udo? Udo is burdening with the weight of the souls of the people of this town and of those who visit it, and his figure is transformed depending on the soul that he burden in each moment. He's carrying your soul right now. He can barely walk and looks grotesque and disgusting.
That's who you are. Think about how
you're going to ease their suffering. What are you going to do?"
The
newcomer knelt, and as he gazed at the grief of the strange creature, his eyes
filled with tears. So much so that he could barely see how the strange creature
was transformed into a being of wonderful light, reflecting the feelings of
compassion that filled the newcomer's soul in that instant.
Udo
La extraña silueta se dibujaba sobre el fondo anaranjado de
las luces de neón. El recién llegado se sorprendió de aquella aparición y no quiso seguir contemplándola. Así que
cerró con fuerza los párpados y se puso a rezar.
Alguien le habló muy despacito al oído:
-¿No conoces
a Udo? Udo carga con el peso de las almas de este pueblo y de las que lo
visitan, y su figura se transforma dependiendo del alma que soporta en cada
momento. Ahora mismo está llevando tu alma. Apenas puede andar y su aspecto es grotesco y repugnante.
Ese eres tú.
Piensa en qué forma vas a aliviar su sufrimiento. ¿Qué vas a hacer?
El recién
llegado se arrodilló, y al contemplar el pesar de la extraña criatura sus ojos
se llenaron de lágrimas. Tanto que apenas pudo ver como la extraña criatura se
transformaba en un ser de luz maravilloso, reflejo de los sentimientos de
compasión que llenaban su alma.
