A prized apple tree, a dangerous bet, and a beautiful young woman--can Juan Verdades still be truthful by the end of the two-week bet?
Un manzano preciado, una apuesta peligrosa y una hermosa joven: puede Juan Verdades seguir siendo sincero al final de la apuesta de dos semanas?
Juan Verdades is an honest man. His employer, don Ignacio, owns a fine apple tree that produces delicious fruit, and he trusts only Juan to care for the tree. Don Ignacio is so sure of Juan's honesty that he enters into a dangerous bet with another rancher, don Arturo. Each man wagers his entire ranch. Don Ignacio is confident in Juan's inability to lie. But don Arturo is determined to prove he can make Juan tell a lie.
Juan has no idea how greatly he is being tested. Nor does Juan realize that don Arturo's beautiful young daughter is doing all she can to make him fail. Will Juan's truthful nature triumph, or will don Ignacio lose everything, including his beloved apple tree?
Juan Verdades es un hombre honesto. Su patrón, don Ignacio, es dueño de un manzano real que produce frutos deliciosos, y solo confÃa en Juan para cuidar el árbol. Don Ignacio está tan seguro de la honestidad de Juan que hace una peligrosa apuesta con otro ganadero, don Arturo. Cada hombre apuesta todo su rancho. Don Ignacio confÃa en la incapacidad de Juan para mentir. Pero don Arturo está decidido a demostrar que puede hacer que Juan mienta.
Juan no tiene idea de lo mucho que lo están probando. Juan tampoco se da cuenta de que la hermosa joven hija de don Arturo está haciendo todo lo posible para que fracase. Triunfará la naturaleza veraz de Juan, o perderá todo don Ignacio, incluido su amado manzano?
