At each work site, Papi and Javier show Juanito how to help with tasks, while Juanito keeps reaching for his sketchbook. He draws birds, plants, flowers, and whatever else catches his attention. A difficult encounter with a boy from school stays on his mind and leads him to ask Papi whether he likes his job.
