Conclusion

On that day, the Great Chamberlain arrived on Earth, looking like an old man… By the way I have forgotten to tell you that The Great Chamberlain is also a great Magician, who can take any look he wants, when and where he wants.

So, on that day, arriving in a street in Bogota, he observes a child, a pretty young girl, her long black hair tumbling onto her shoulders. She is alone, sitting on sidewalk in an empty street, thoughtfully drawing circles on the ground using of a dry stick.

The Great Chamberlain sits beside the child, stays silent, for a few moments. The young girl continues drawing circles on the ground, not paying attention to the old man sitting beside her. May be, she was not aware of him…

- Good morning, little girl!
- Morning, sir.
- What are you doing there?
- Nothing! She answered, not lifting her head.
- Tell me, what is your name?
- I have no name.
- How is it possible, you have no name? Everybody has a name!
- No, not me! People say that I was born in the street. It seems that somebody found me in a basket, left on a park bench. And it was people in the street that took care of me. I have no parents… Or, rather, I have plenty of parents. My own parents are all the people of the street. Nobody has ever thought of giving me a name! So everybody calls me “The Nameless Girl”!
- And are you not sad to have no name?
- Yes I am! Sometimes it does seem strange to me! When the big boys whistle at me, or shout “Hey! You!” to call me.
- Would you like to have a name?
- Of course! But I have none!
