The Small One: A Good Samaritan

The Small One: A Good Samaritan is a 1998 picture book sequel to the animated Christmas short, The Small One.

Summary
Who can forget the story of Small One, the old donkey who was willing to give up his life for his master, but who was luckily bought by Joseph to carry Mary into Bethlehem? In this timeless story of friendship and neighborly compassion, the little donkey and the Boy are back together. But Small One has hurt himself falling down a hill. The boy can't carry him alone -- it takes the selfless kindness of a passing Samaritan to get Small One on his feet again. The stranger dresses the little donkey's wounds and carries him to an inn. And when the Samaritan finally leaves the boy and Small One, he leaves behind more than just two coins. He leaves a story that Small One's new master, Jesus, will one day retell.
