The Pearl Chapter 4 Summary

Chapter four of The Pearl begins on the morning of the day that Kino will finally be rid of the Pearl of the World. He walks into the stone town of La Paz to sell the pearl, expecting a price of 50,000 pesos. However, the pearl buyer that he visits only offers 1,000 pesos while his colleagues offer even less. An enragred Kino leaves without selling his pearl. That night, his home is attacked again but the stubborn Kino rejects Juana's suggestion to throw the pearl away. Finally, Kino decides to go to the capital to sell the pearl for a fair price.
