Juan füttert gerade den Esel, als ein neuer, aus Übersee importierter Lastwagen vorbeifährt. Der Fahrer erlaubt Juan, auf den Beifahrersitz zu steigen. Dann macht er sich auf den Weg, um ein Geburtstagsgeschenk für Luisa zu finden. Er sucht sich ein Geschäft aus und stöbert zuerst in der Puppenkollektion.
