A Day's Work

When Francisco, a young Mexican American boy, tries to help his grandfather find work, he lies in order to impress a man who wants some gardening done. But the lie is soon discovered when the two workers pull out all the plants, and leave the weeds. As the two seek a way to correct the mistake, Francisco discovers that even though his grandfather cannot speak English, he has something even more valuable to teach Francisco.
