Ante cada una de estas situaciones, Ricardo se ve obligado a tomar una decisión. Sin embargo, al intentar resolver sus problemas, siempre se mete en nuevos aprietos; por fortuna, sus amigos y su ingenio siempre lo ayudan a salir de ellos.

And, even more difficult, will he make his parents decide to get back together? Faced with each of these situations, Ricardo is forced to make a decision. However, when trying to solve his problems, he always gets into new trouble; Fortunately, his friends and his wits always help him get out of them.
