Simon is a very poor apprentice carpenter. He's managed to chisel the end off Joseph's finger and the things he makes bear no resemblance to what they're supposed to be.

Being a danger to himself, and everyone else around him Joseph has no choice but to let Simon accompany him and Mary as they travel to Bethlehem for the census.

Hear the unusually talkative animals! Listen to angels as they squabble! Goggle at King Herod's crazy proclamations!
