The Tale of Pancho

4:13 am: The ranch's rooster crows for the first time - ugh. Pancho, our protagonist, sits in his plastic organic animal cracker container with his fellow animal crackers, awaiting the day and wondering what it will bring.
4:14 am: A few disgruntled group members tumble out of their tents, totally confused. Pancho hears them as they begin to stretch and yawn, only to realize that they still have a few hours of sleep to go!

7:00 am: Pancho hears "Gloria al Padre, y al Hijo, y al Espiritu Santo ahora y siempre, y por los siglos de los siglos..."

9:03 am: Pancho's dark house is suddenly flooded with light, as one of the summer interns grabs his plastic organic animal cracker container and loads it into one of the 15 passenger vans.
9:05 am: Wondering why the ride is so bumpy, Pancho observes the 13 workers who are all eagerly putting on sunscreen and hydrating before the beginning of the day.

9:17 am: Pancho and co. arrive at the worksite, and one of the group members who had skipped breakfast in order to catch a shower, opens the plastic organic animal cracker container and grabs a handful of Pancho's cousins, aunts, uncles, and siblings. Pancho narrowly misses being eaten, and ends up on top of the van in his plastic organic animal cracker container with a fairly good view of the worksite.

10:49 am: Pancho watches the groups as they measure, saw, and hammer with great enthusiasm, making what once used to be a pile of twobufurs into walls, doors, and windows.

12:14 pm: The site's lunch-maker spots pancho in his plastic organic animal cracker container, and pulls it down to be served with the delicious PB & J lunch.

12:19-12:42 pm: Pancho frantically dives out of the way of probing hands, until he is finally picked up by an older worker with a shirt pocket. A narrow escape ensues as follows: Pancho is about to be eaten, but as he is on his way to certain death by mastication, the worker with the shirt pocket pauses to chat with another worker and Pancho is placed into the worker's front pocket instead - to be saved for later.

3:34 pm: From his shirt pocket perch, Pancho suddenly has an arial view of the colonia as the worker ascends to the roof to help with the bird block placement. Oh no! Pancho realizes that he is scared of heights.
3:35 pm: Pancho gets nauseous.

4:49 pm: Unbeknownst to the worker with the shirt pocket, Pancho rides back to St. Innocent's Orphanage with the weary yet elated group. He himself feels a vicarious sense of accomplishment, as the day began with a slab of concrete which now serves as the foundation for a basic home structure.

5:15 pm: The group member with the shirt pocket sits down on the bench outside the Tiendita, and remembers that he has Pancho in his pocket.
5:15:32 pm: Pancho is eaten, missing out on Fr. Luke Veronis' moving oration on long-term missions. Thus ends the tale of Pancho.
