Yet Another The Pearl

Kino, a poor Indian
fisherman, lives on the Gulf of California with his wife Juana
and son Coyotito. Their simple hut is made of brush, and the
couple sleeps on mats thrown on the dirt floor, while
Coyotito sleeps in a hanging box. Like others in their poor
village, they depend on nature for survival. As The Pearl

family. During the night, she quietly removes it from the spot
where Kino has hidden it and tries to throw it back into the
ocean. He stops her before she succeeds and beats her for
trying. As he returns to the hut, Kino is attacked again, this
