Emotions run high in this part of the story. Manuela has no idea what Paolo is going through, but they have to go to the adoption interview, so stress is running high, too. As often happens, Natoli provides some relief in his own inimitable way.

Today is the decisive doctor's visit, but it's not entirely what the newlyweds expected. Meanwhile, let's hope Paolo can start paying attention to his company's developments, because something fishy is going on.

Manuela gets to the document before Paolo does, and reacts. This starts quite a chain reaction involving Natoli, the workers at the factory, and Paolo who ends up on Manuela's bicycle.

Paolo clearly cares more about Natoli than his car, Manuela thinks Paolo is like the other bosses, and Natoli is becoming resigned to going back to his country. It's a mess.

There's a strike going on in the factory, and some dirty dealings going on, too. Meanwhile Paolo, with Natoli's expert help, is doing what he can to figure things out.

Paolo has to gather all his wits to figure out what's happening in the company. He confronts Salmastri, but Salmastri is truly slippery, and not to be underestimated.

Paolo and Natoli have some unforeseen difficulties getting to the factory, and when they finally do arrive, nothing is as it should be.

Paolo, with the help of Natoli, of course, is able to save the situation, and the workers are truly grateful. He pays a visit to the cemetery to talk to his brother Aldo.

In this last segment we find out what happened to Aldo and his wife. We don't know if everyone will live happily ever after, but for now, it's all good.

The Ugly Duckling was written by Hans Christian Andersen, and published for the first time in 1843. In Italian, stories are generally recounted using two main past tenses: the passato remoto and the imperfetto, so even if you are "too old" for these kinds of things, this story, told by Arianna, is an excellent way to get some practice.

This story teaches us how important it is to accept those who might not look like us and to be patient about finding our place in the world. And sometimes something that seems like a defect, can be a gift.
