Read and listen to the story "The Pear 1" by John Steinbeck.

KINO WAS A POOR PEARL DIVER.

One day his baby was stung by a scorpion, so he took the baby to the doctor. But Kino didn't have any money. He only had some very poor quality pearls. The doctor didn't want to treat the baby, so the doctor's servant lied to Kino: "The doctor has gone out." That day, Kino went diving for pearls. When he was diving he saw a very large oyster. He swam down and down and picked up the oyster. Then he came to the surface. He took his knife and opened the shell of the oyster. Inside, there was an enormous and beautiful pearl the greatest pearl in the world! Kino and his wife Juana were very happy. Now they would have enough money to educate their son and maybe buy new clothes and even a rifle. The news of the pearl spread through the town very quickly. That evening, lots of neighbors came to their house and they talked about what Kino and Juana could do with the money.
