Quote #10
Besides, the few miracles attributed to the angel showed a certain mental disorder, like the blind man who didn't recover his sight but grew three new teeth, or the paralytic who didn't get to walk but almost won the lottery, and the leper whose sores sprouted sunflowers. (10)
The people who come to the angel to cure their ailments don't exactly get what they came for. The supernatural shows up in comical ways in their "cures," suggesting that the angel isn't what they make him out to be. At the same time, they do suggest that there's something supernatural going on. Are we supposed to believe that the leper's sores "sprouted sunflowers"? And what kind of blessing is "almost" winning the lottery?
