Summary:

Hoy, el pequeño Jesús tiene una gran misión. Irá al trabajo de Papá y estará a cargo de un barrilito de agua mágico. Cuando el barrilito se vacie, explica Papa, el día laboral habrá terminado. Pero qué pasará con todos los animales sedientos? ¿Tendrán suficiente agua para terminar el día de trabajo? ¿O será que el barrilito mágico les ayude a regresar a casa temprano? ¡Este divertido relato te conmoverá y te hará reír!

"Little Jesús is excited to spend a Saturday with his landscaper Papá at the "family business." He loves Papá's cool truck and all the tools he gets to use. Papá even puts him in charge of the magical water jug, which is also a clock! When it's empty, Papá explains, the workday will be done. It's a big job, and Jesús wants to do it right. But he just can't help giving water to an array of thirsty animals--a dog in a sweater, some very old cats, and a flock of peacocks. Before he knows it, the magical water jug is empty--but the workday's not over yet! Will Jesús be fired?! This mischievous tale of a very young comedian's life lesson will warm hearts and have class clowns, practical jokers, and all high-spirited kids nodding in sympathy."-- Provided by publisher.
