Question

The Other Self
by Mario Benedetti
This is about an ordinary boy. A boy who wore ill-fitted pants, read stories, made noise while he ate, put
fingers inside his nose and snored in his sleep. Armando was a normal boy in every manner, except one:
he had the Other Self.
His Other Self had a poetical perspective, he was enamored by actresses, lied cautiously, and was moved
by sunsets. The boy was bothered a lot by his Other Self and it made Armando very uncomfortable in front
of his friends. Moreover, the Other Self was melancholic, and due to that, Armando could not be as normal
as he wanted.
One evening, Armando returned exhausted from work. He took off his shoes, wiggled his toes slowly and
turned on the radio. Mozart played on the radio but the boy dozed off. When he woke up, his Other Self
was crying inconsolably. At first, the boy didn`t know what was happening, but eventually he pulled himself
together and started insulting the Other Self anxiously. He did not say anything to Armando then, but the
following day, the Other Self had committed suicide.
At first, the death of his Other Self was a harsh blow for poor Armando. But eventually, he thought that now
he could be completely normal with everyone. This thought comforted him immensely.
He mourned for five days only. Then, one day, he went out into the streets with the idea of shining the light
of his newfound and total normality upon people. From a distance he saw that his friends were approaching
him. This filled him with happiness and he burst into laughter.
