The Camerlengo - El camarlengo


The Camerlengo

We help immigrants find employment. Many factors have to be taken into account: their country of origin, education, age, and family situation.

Today I am handling the case of an elderly man who cannot read or write. He speaks a language I do not recognize, and I cannot even identify what part of the world it comes from. The old man gestures toward a sheet of paper and a pencil, then begins to draw a dome.

Suddenly, the Swiss Guard arrives at the office. They explain that the old man is the Camerlengo in disguise. He has devoted himself so completely to helping immigrants that, in the end, he has lost his grip on reality and has come to believe that he is one of them.

El camarlengo

Nos dedicamos a encontrar puestos de trabajo a inmigrantes. Hay que tener en cuenta muchos factores: origen, formación, edad, situación familiar…
Hoy he llevado el caso de un anciano que no sabe leer ni escribir. Se expresa en un idioma que no conozco ni tampoco puedo identificar la región del planeta en la que lo hablan. El anciano  ha señalado un papel y un lápiz y ha empezado a dibujar una cúpula.

De repente se han presentado en el despacho la guardia suiza. Me han explicado que se trata del camarlengo disfrazado. Se ha dedicado con tanto afán a ayudar a los inmigrantes que al final ha perdido la cabeza y se ha creído que es uno de ellos.
