Yama the Llama--Off to Bethsaida (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781970109061)

"Yama the Llama carries a load of bread for his friend, Micah. There is a large gathering of people sitting on a hillside outside the city listening to Jesus preach. Micah's father tells him to go there to sell the bread and, if he sells all 16 loaves, he can buy a treat for himself and Yama. They are looking forward to a sweet fig that they will share. But, as they walk along the streets of the city and out through the gates, they meet hungry people. Instead of selling the bread, they give it away. By the time they get to the hillside, there are only 5 loaves left.

Jesus' disciple, Andrew, asks Micah to give him the 5 loaves, so that the crowd can have something to eat. Micah gives Andrew the bread and 2 dried fish that he was going to eat for his lunch. Andrew takes the bread and fish to Jesus. After Jesus blesses the bread and fish, there is enough to feed all 5000 people.

Just as Yama and Micah are leaving, Andrew chases them down and gives them 2 figs.
