"A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings"

I have to say that this story was quite interesting. A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings has a particular writing style that could be interpreted as "magical realism". This story was so out of the ordinary that I did not even know which parts to believe. The short novel begins with a rainy day. Pelayo and Elisenda are the main characters in the story (husband and wife). Their newborn baby has caught a fever and it had been raining for three days. They then find a very old man that has wings on him that look buzzard wings and they looked half plucked. They have no idea of what this creature could be, but their neighbor walks by and seems to have an idea that this man with wings is an angel. The couple begins to think that the angel is coming to take their very sick baby, so they "locked him up with the hens in the wire chicken coop". The couple then begins to show this disturbing yet interesting man to the rest of the town and they charge people to see the old man with wings. The couple is now very rich and they live in a mansion, while the old man is still living in the coop. While the old man with wings is kept in the cage he begins to get sick and he catches a fever and begins to loose his wings. After this was happening the town encountered a new attraction. This was a young girl that turned into a tarantula because she disobeyed her parents. After this happened Pelayo and Elisenda began to loose their customers. Years past and the old man with wings was very patient in waiting to get ready and feel better then he eventually got his wings back, felt better and left and flew into the sunset.
I think that there could be many different morals in this story as a whole, but one that stuck out to me the most was when the couple received blessings, and yet they still treated the old man like dirt keeping him in the chicken coop. When God gives us blessings do we just sit on them and think that we did it all by ourselves, or do we thank Him and give Him our ten percent like we are supposed to? Blessings can either help you or hinder you and in this case it really hindered the couple/
