The doctor and his servant also came to the house, because they had also heard about the pearl. The doctor made Kino and Juana afraid about the scorpion sting. He gave the baby medicine, which he said would save him. The doctor looked around the house, because he knew that the pearl would be hidden somewhere there. In the middle of the night, while Kino and his family were sleeping, Kino suddenly heard a noise. Someone was trying to get the pearl. In the darkness, Kino jumped up with his knife but someone hit him on the head and ran away. The next morning he took the pearl to the pearl dealers in the main square of the town. There were many dealers but they all worked for one man and they always gave the divers the lowest possible price for their pearls. Kino went to different dealers but they all said that the pearl was too big and ugly and that it wasn't worth more than 1,500 pesos.
