Bartolo lay in bed, his eyes closed, and his mind wandering to far-off lands. He had always been a dreamer, and his nocturnal adventures took him to fantastical realms. As a child, his imagination knew no bounds, and his parents would often find him asleep with a huge smile on his face, his eyes twitching with excitement.

La historia sigue a Bartolo, un hombre que vive en una remota y fría región (implícitamente las zonas rurales de los Andes colombianos) y que no sabe leer ni escribir. Bartolo tiene un sueño recurrente y perturbador que lo motiva a emprender un viaje hacia la capital. Durante su trayecto y estancia, Bartolo descubre que su "enfermedad" no es física, sino cultural: su incapacidad para descifrar los signos escritos lo mantiene aislado del mundo "mágico" que ofrecen las historias.

From that day on, Bartolo lived a life filled with wonder, creativity, and a deep understanding of the power of his own imagination.

The magic of his dreams, now a part of him A spark that guides him, through life's joys and whim Bartolo lives with wonder, and a heart aglow A testament to the power of imagination's glow.
