At last, Fernando and his parents have found a place to sit down and enjoy a delicious ice cream because, during the vacation season, the cafés and ice cream parlors are often crowded with tourists who want to savor the local delicacies.

The waiter comes to take the order, and the boy immediately asks for the usual chocolate ice cream, as it is his favorite, although his parents have insisted that he try other flavors, he refuses, he would never dare to taste another type of ice cream.

While they wait Fernando begins to sniff with his eyes the neighboring tables, on his way he comes across a tall glass filled with ice cream, strawberries, and whipped cream, and ends up decorated with some delicious strawberries, seeing that immediately makes his mouth water.

He feels petrified when he imagines that mixture of flavors melting in his mouth, he regrets having let himself be carried away by what is safe, by what he is used to, but it is useless to complain because there is no turning back, he can only witness how the strawberry ice cream would be devoured by another mouth.

Por fin Fernando y sus padres han encontrado un lugar donde sentarse para degustar un rico helado, pues en temporadas de vacaciones es frecuente que los cafés y las heladerías se hallen atiborrados por turistas que desean saborear las delicia de la zona.

El mesero se ha acercado a tomar la orden, el chico de inmediato pide lo de costumbre un helado de chocolate, pues es su preferido, a pesar de que sus padres han insistido en que pruebe otros sabores, pero él se niega nunca se atrevería a paladear otro tipo de helado.

Mientras aguardan Fernando comienza a husmear con su mirada las mesas vecinas, en su recorrido se encuentra con una copa alta repleta de helado de mantecado, fresas, crema chantillí y termina decorada con unas apetitosas fresas, al ver aquello enseguida su boca se le hace agua.

Se siente petrificado al imaginarse aquella mezcla de sabores derritiéndose en su boca lamenta el haberse dejado llevar por lo seguro, por lo acostumbrado, pero de nada sirve quejarse, pues ya no hay marcha atrás, solo le queda presenciar como el helado de fresa sería devorado por otra boca.
