La automovilista (negro el vestido, negro el pelo, negros los ojos pero con la cara tan p�lida que a pesar del mediod�a parec�a que en su tez se hubiese detenido un rel�mpago) vio en el camino a una muchacha que hac�a se�as para que parara. Par�.

� �Me llevas? Hasta el pueblo no m�s �dijo la muchacha.

�Sube �dijo la automovilista. Y el auto arranc� a toda velocidad por el camino que bordeaba la monta�a.

�Muchas gracias �dijo la muchacha con un gracioso moh�n� pero, �no tienes miedo de levantar por el camino a personas desconocidas? Podr�an hacerte da�o. �Esto est� tan desierto!

� No, no tengo miedo.

� �Y si levantaras a alguien que te atraca?

� No tengo miedo.

� �Y si te matan?

� No tengo miedo.

� �No? Perm�teme presentarme �dijo entonces la muchacha, que ten�a los ojos grandes, l�mpidos, imaginativos y enseguida, conteniendo la risa, fingi� una voz cavernosa �. Soy la Muerte, la M-u-e-r-t-e.

La automovilista sonri� misteriosamente.

En la pr�xima curva el auto se desbarranc�.

La muchacha qued� muerta entre las piedras. La automovilista sigui� a pie y al llegar a un cactus desapareci�.

Enrique Anderson Imbert (Argentina)
The driver who was wearing black dress, and look like his face so pale midday but with despite black hair, black eyes , his complexion seemed that lightning he was driving on the way when suddenly looked a young girl who was asking for a ride. He stopped.
- can you give me a ride to the nearest town? She said

-Up �said the motorist. And the car started speeding down the road that skirted the mountain.
�Thank you � said the girl with a pretty pout,

but Don�t you think it is dangerous to ride with strangers?  They could hurt you.
This is so empty!

- I don�t think so.

What about if someone steal you?
- I have no fear.
- What about if a murderer kill you?
- I have no fear.
- No?
So, let me introduce myself, �said the girl, who had big, clear, imaginative eyes and then, to laugh, pretended a hollow voice -. I am Death, the M-u-e-r-t-e.

- What about if someone docks you?
- I have no fear.
- What about if you get killed?
- I have no fear.
- No? Let me introduce myself then, �said the girl, who had big eyes, clear, imaginative and then, to laugh, pretended a hollow voice -. I am Death, D e a t h
The motorist smiled mysteriously.
In the next turn the car cliff.
The girl was dead among the rocks. The motorist followed on foot and on reaching a cactus disappeared.
