[00:01.72]The doctor and his servant
[00:03.49]also came to the house,
[00:05.12]because they had also heard about the pearl.
[00:08.36]The doctor made Kino
[00:10.33]and Juana afraid about the scorpion sting.
[00:13.73]He gave the baby medicine,
[00:15.45]which he said would save him.
[00:18.66]The doctor looked around the house,
[00:20.58]because he knew that the pearl would be hidden
[00:22.66]somewhere there.
[00:26.03]In the middle of the night,
[00:27.56]while Kino and his family were sleeping,
[00:29.90]Kino suddenly heard a noise.
[00:33.11]Someone was trying to get the pearl.
[00:36.69]In the darkness, Kino jumped up
[00:38.89]with his knife but someone hit him
[00:40.94]on the head and ran away.
[00:45.31]The next morning he took the pearl
[00:47.44]to the pearl dealers in the main square
[00:49.18]of the town.There were many dealers
[00:52.39]but they all worked for one man
[00:54.58]and they always gave the divers
[00:56.33]the lowest possible price for their pearls.
[00:59.72]Kino went to different dealers
[01:02.04]but they all said that the pearl
[01:03.47]was too big and ugly
[01:05.39]and that it wasn't worth more than 1,500 pesos.
