In 'Papa Bear Comes Home,' the father figure is the central axis of the stories, set in a domestic and everyday environment, where Osiño shares his dreams and longings. He longs to be like his father and imagine himself fishing in the sea like him, even if he has to settle for a log as a boat and a small fish as his only catch in the river. The news of his father's return fills Osiño with illusion, who dreams of meeting a mermaid. Together with his friends, they await his arrival, although from the mermaid they only find bubbles in the water and the sound of the sea in a conch shell. Meanwhile, Osiño suffers a bout of hiccups that everyone tries to alleviate, interrupting Papa Bear's tranquility while he reads his newspaper.
