Keeping the stable clean and the hay fresh for all the animals is a smelly old job for Sam, the young stable boy. No one seems to notice his hard work and it's making Sam feel very insignificant. His ever-faithful friend, Shrew, tries to keep his spirits up, but Sam is finding it hard to feel important at all.
However, as the crowds gather in Bethlehem for the census and the inns fill up, some very special visitors are shown to Sam's stable and Gradually, as the miraculous events of the night unfold, Sam starts to realise his worth……. with a little help from a Shrew!
