Ida, her brother and their parents are sick. Or rather, they feel that they may not be all that well. So all of them stay in their beds waiting for the others to get up and make breakfast.
Ida's father is not feeling well today. He can't go to work, so the family agrees that Ida will take care of him. If he can behave properly, he can be allowed to come with Ida to kindergarten, she says. Dad promises.
