Abstract
Based on certain Borgean understanding of literature ("we are moralists forever, and only sometimes geometricians"), irony and game, the author propases a both malevolent and poetical change in the sequence of the stories of "El Informe de Brodie" (1970). Books are all in just one -Borges dixit-, which may be the anti-Bible (guiltiness, history, war, dishonor, etc.), or even El Informe. However, Borges' book also has a request, and it's just at the end: if the more educated we are, the more respectfull we are of the different, then the Yahoos must be saved, because, besides many other qualities, they have the foreseeing ability, and "their infinite begins on the thumb". Imposing our beliefs on them would be ingesting and destroying them; but, unfortunately, the request your humble servant dares to address Your Majesty, may be thrown to the waste paper bin by the earliest rising usher. It's a manner of speaking.
