Line 12:
This story has inspired several imitations and variations; for example one Puerto Rican TV [[Christmas Special]] was about a little boy who wanted to visit the Nativity to ask Baby Jesus to cure his dying father (in the apparent belief that [[Eternal Recurrence|the event repeats itself every year]]). A [[Christmas Miracle]] happens, of course. Similarly, the Spanish Christmas song ''Burrito Sabanero'' is about a boy riding a burro to reach the Nativity.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Though set in first century Judaea, the kings wear costumes more suggestive of [[The Renaissance|15th century]] European paintings of the Adoration of the Magi.
* [[Ass in a Lion Skin]]: During the song "Why Can't the Animals Smile?," Baba the lamb pretends to be a lion, a frog, and a hog; Joshua the camel pretends to be an alligator and an elephant; and Samson the donkey pretends to be a caribou.
