Paco tells the nurse that Paquito ate well until two days ago, but now cries while eating. The nurse continues to look at Estrellita and asks if the child has any other medical problems. Estrellita looks at her husband while speaking to him in Spanish, after which the husband tells the nurse that the boy was born with a heart condition.
