Kino, a poor Mexican pearl
fisher, finds a valuable pearl. Yet instead of bringing blessings, the
pearl acts as a harbinger of misfortune to Kino and his wife, Juana.
Ultimately, it is returned from whence it came. Steinbeck's parable,
originally published in 1947, is a well-written retelling of an old
Mexican folktale.
