What other action does Espinosa perform that earns the Gutres’ gratitude?

What will be an ideal response?


Espinosa helps treat the Gutre girl’s injured pet lamb. (Borges’s choice of that symbolic animal is surely not coincidental.) The family seem to consider his intercession miraculous, although Espinosa does not understand their reaction. There is a consistently ironic gap between what he notices in their behavior and what their actions really signify. It is a good exercise to have students list as many ironic episodes or situations as possible.
