Both " A Very Old Man with enormous wings" and "the handsomest drowned man in the world" are subtitled as a tale for children. Why would Marquez give both stories that subtitle? In what ways could both stories be tales for children?

1. Marquez uses this type of title for his stories because they are appropriate titles for stories of magical realism, as these two stories are. Marquez is a great name for magical realism and his titles accompany this type of text, where he presents realistic details with fanciful, playful and unreal elements, where reality mixes with magic, as in children's stories.

2. These stories can be short stories for children because they deal with appropriate subjects in a very playful, educational and full of elements that call the attention of children as magical beings, unreal events and an environment where children can recognize in the real world.
