Grandpa Bear's Secret

Like a smear of Chinese ink on a blank notebook. This is how Mama Crow's shadow falls on the forest. Wrapped in its blanket of snow, the forest sleeps. Mama Crow caws at him from a branch. Five more minutes the wind yawns through the trees... The forest is the snowy setting where Mama Crow and Grandpa Bear meet, who has broken his winter lethargy, unable to remember where he has hidden a secret. He is not among the branches, nor in the burrow, nor in the lake, and the insecurity of doubt makes him feel vulnerable. The mystery surrounds this beautiful narrative work where nature is one more character; a nature humanized by the poetics of Pedro Mañas's text, with metaphors that accentuate the descriptive tone of the story.
