Las familias les han explicado a los peque├▒os protagonistas de esta historia que a partir de ahora todo mundo tendr├í que usar una m├íscara protectora, y que se les pedir├í que mantengan su distancia entre s├¡. A medida que las m├íscaras se compran y se entregan, los peque├▒os van a la helader├¡a, cada uno acompa├▒ado de su madre o su padre. Se divierten al ver a los adultos usando sombreros graciosos como un recordatorio de esta nueva regla. Sin embargo, el distanciamiento social y las m├íscaras no debilitar├ín su esp├¡ritu, al contrario: su entusiasmo se fortalecer├í al verse y saludarse entre s├¡ mientras hacen fila afuera de la helader├¡a. Despu├⌐s de que, uno por uno, entran y compran su helado, todos regresan a sus respectivos hogares para disfrutarlo.

The young protagonists of this story are told by their families that from now on everybody will have to wear a protective mask, and that they will be asked to keep their distance from each other. As the masks are purchased and delivered, the young people set out to the ice-cream shop, each one accompanied by a parent. They are amused to see adults wearing funny hats as a reminder of this new rule. However, social distancing and masks will not turn their spirit off and their enthusiasm is further reinforced by seeing and waiving at each other as they queue up. Once everyone has walked into the shop in turn, and bought their ice cream, they all go back to their respective homes to enjoy their gelato.

The mysterious humming noise and the light coming from the living room are keeping the young protagonist of this story awake. To understand what is going on, she reaches the room where her mother is and realizes that she''s busy sewing protective masks. She also finds out that from now on all essential workers and all those who have to commute to go to work, must wear a mask. Once the young lady''s reluctance is won, and she resolves to wear a colorful mask made by her mother, she asks her to teach her how to sew. She wants to make a mask for her grandfather, who, touched by her gesture, hugs her tight as he walks in after his tiring shift at the hospital.
