Relation and difference between work and kinetic energy

I don't really understand the difference and the relation between work and kinetic energy. When you move an object a distance you do work (or does the object work?), what's the object's kinetic energy? Is the kinetic energy the work you've put in to the box all gathered up at the end of the distance given the box keeps moving when you stopped pushing the box? The box can't have kinetic energy if's stationary after I've pushed the box can it?

Sorry if it's unclear.
