«Veneno» is the fable by Saneh Sangsuk published by Plaza & Janés in paperback (96 pages, in Spanish).
A ten-year-old Thai boy with a crippled arm tends his cows at dusk and dreams of becoming a puppeteer. When a giant cobra attacks him and coils around his body, he calls for help, but the neighbors flee. The narrative turns that duel into a fable about the struggle of the weak against the strong and of good against evil.
Winner of the S.E.A. Write Award; the original Thai title is «อสรพิษ». This edition carries the subtitle «El niño y la cobra / Una fábula».
For readers interested in short fiction and contemporary fables with an allegorical backdrop.
