According to the
townspeople, the angel makes several mistakes in granting miracles. First, there is a blind man
who sprouts three new teeth instead of being able to see again. There is also a leper whose
sores are not cured but who instead grows sunflowers out of his sores, and the final flawed
miracle is a paralytic who almost wins the lottery instead of being able to walk again. These
miracles almost make it seem like the angel is playing with people and making fun of them, and
people tire of him because he can't grant the miracles they expect of him.
As
a result, the angel loses his popularity to a strange woman who was transformed into a spider
after attending a dance without her parents' knowledge. This woman appears in a passing
carnival, and she proves far more popular than the eccentric angel.
