Comrades,

it is sometimes difficult to find words

which could accompany a loved one to his final resting

but in this case, a word is sufficient

one word that sums up the dignity and strength and caliber

exalted this man, whose disappearance

still premature to his glory, gathers us here

a word ...

proletarian

That was Francisco J. Perez

For his friends ... Paco.

A proletarian throughout the Extension of the word

and further, artist emeritus famous inventor, patriots paradigm

from early childhood, proved an irresistible inclination

the art of sculpture

Piece of clay or iron fell in his hands, was transformed into

dove of peace, defeated Eagle by the working force,

a monument to creative work

His tenacity and his determination to improve

would make him soon owner of a marble ...

but their tasks sculptor

would lead him not to forget proletarian duties.

He could always seen lounging on the front line

against all oppressive forces ...

and those ideals revolutionaries would not leave anymore.

making busts, with their own hands to even surpass the goals

and obsessed with the idea that for next year, every Cuban family

had a patriotic corner in your house, I went to work in his major work

machinery for making busts with rapidly, in amounts unsuspected

then ...

Francisco J. Perez, was a Michelangelo for the humble,

therefore could not be held best tribute that accorded by their companions

Lightning assembly work, to be buried with their work card

symbol of their working conditions, serve him in that eternal badge

creative work, where surely will go to dwell its proletarian soul

Comrades...

I can only on behalf of his troubled widow and her nephew

thank you for join us on this sad day,

where nature seems to have wanted to join the pain of labor.

I said.

We are finishing

I brought the book?

- Le mans clinic, right? - No, that does not, work.

Ah, I have not, I am a housewife. No, not yours, ma'am, the deceased ...

rest in peace ... have to add it to the file

- The my husband? - Auntie, this book was ... when ...

It is ...

- Is that ... I tell him.

Is that my husband was buried with him.

How ?!

Yes, we knew nothing. Nobody said anything.

My uncle was a labor issue, understand?

Yes, but I HAVE to add to the file

- Oh, my God, what a complication! - Wait, aunt, this has to be fixed

Look, pal, I'm going to explain

My uncle loved him your fellow because he invented a machine, and the

night of the wake, were the union and one of them suggested that

buried with his card

And they put their work card in the coffin

You could not get a duplicate?

A duplicate? I do not know, that's very difficult.

- Is the solution in this case - That can only be done by interested

I think that should not bury with the labor card ...

All this is very complicated

Look mate, is already buried! now must find a solution.

Okay, but ... I dunno, It is the first time I see

that a person be buried with the labor card

Well, but it happened!

My uncle was exemplary worker, whose fault is that?

- If nobody's fault! - Okay, but now all

- The workers are buried with ... - No, no, not all ...

my uncle invented a machine!

Sir, that's fine, but what can I do?

Well move, do something! She will not go to be without pension ...

Sure, compadre, of course! Calm Down!

How will you tell me not to know what to do? You are here for that!

Calm down, mate. This is solved What is it?

The lady is managing your pension and for that I need the job card

- Of her late husband. - My deepest condolences, ma'am.

- What? - He has been buried with him.

- You've seen that some see? - With this card?

Yup

And you think a formality lady is going to stay without your pension?

- Okay ... - We are here for something, right?

This is solved

Let's look at Medina that is who can fix this.

Inquire of Lisandro, who has many years ...

Let's go straight to the top ...

Let's see Medina

Around here, ma'am.

Of course, there is no legislation contemplate this type of situation

perhaps because the existence labor license, is very recent.

Nor is there any case law that we can rely

We are facing a unique case, surprising for the unusual

However, it should not surprise

because you have to admit, I bury a loved one, with their belongings

they were, say ...

speaking hyperbolically, an extension his own person ...

in this case the card is a labor attribute sine qua non of a worker.

- In an exemplary worker, doctor. - Yeah yeah. One also exemplary.

As I said, this is something deep roots in history

as we know, from the time Egyptians, hundreds of years ago,

was customary to bury the dead with objects used in life ...

so that his soul also used.

In this case, the reason is symbolic, devoid of religious connotation

but still, the fact remains the same and ...

and I would say yes, which is practically the same.

So doctor, is hopeless?

Yes, but, as you can not get a duplicate ... because only the person can do ...

will be necessary to exhume the body.

Say what?

To be drawn Uncle Paco ...

well, mate, you've heard the doctor

When you have the card, comes to see me.

This is already solved.

Aunt! ... Aunt, what's wrong?

You are tired, no?
