But as they all worked for the same person they wouldn?t give a proper price. So the next day Kino leaves to the village where a group of buyer of the pearl are waiting for him. He dreamt about his sun going to school and about all the new clothes etc. That night Kino dreamt about all the things he could do with the money he would gain by selling the pearl. The day after the doctor comes and cures him by a drink. Although Kino says that his son is healthy, the doctor gives Coyotito a medicine to "provide returning of the poison". Although Coyotito was healthy again the doctor came that evening because he knew that they now had money to pay. When he comes home he is even happier, because Coyotito has recovered from his bite. He calls it the pearl of the world because it?s the biggest pearl he has ever seen. When Kino prepares himself to dive he has a good feeling. At that time Kino is very disappointed and he decides to search for a pearl in the ocean, to get money to pay the bill, so he leaves on his boat together with his wife and sun. But the doctor didn't want to help them because they weren't able to pay the bill. After this had happened the whole family ran to the doctor, because when a scorpion stings a little baby it?s most of the time deadly. Luckily Juana saw this and started to suck the red spot very hard and spat and sucked again. A poor pearl-diver family in Mexico lived a happy live, but one day the child, Coyotito, was bitten by a poison scorpion.
