She continued, “Do you think God would create all those galaxies, stars, and planets without putting animals, and people on them? Why create them in the first place if you are just going to leave them as barren worlds?” “I would like to learn more from you, Bardala. I hope you can teach me,” Ronú said with a broad smile. “Maybe we can have some special friends teach you many new things. There should always be places to go to learn new things for those who want to make exciting discoveries. It is a bad thing not to be able to explore new ideas, to study them, to learn which are true, and which are false.” Tital told them. “I hope I can always learn something new.” “Tital, we must get back to healing the people. Many people still wait patiently in the street,” Bardala reminded him. Soon, they stood touching each person, one at a time. The healing process would start immediately, however it would sometimes take hours for the person to be fully healed. Sometimes the injuries brought the person so close to death that both Bardala and Tital would have to join their hands together, and then touch the person. Healing people with their unique and special powers that Huracán had passed onto them, one would have thought would bring Tital and Bardala only happiness.

The sheer amount of suffering they had seen had affected them deeply. As night approached, eight men could be seen running up to the open-air clinic with two young children on reed litters. Neither child moved nor cried, and both looked quite pale.
