rrerle Ell muchacho es un poe
ia de buena familia. que ha vi
vido solo, abandonado moral

faltan recursos materiales, pero
no sabe utilizarlos. Su inteli-
gencia es clara y penetrante,
pero su timidez y espiritu artis-
tico le hacen impossible la vida
Ell infeliz es tan timido que Sc
deja robar por todo el mundo Y
