What starts out as a disturbing story of lemon theft ends with a practical teaching. The story takes place is a Spanish speaking location and the wisdom comes from an ancient one. The practical aspect of the story is that the theft is put right and the soulfulness comes from forgiveness and empathy for the thief. It is the combination of the two elements that makes the story so good for young listeners.
