" But this remedy was easily created and didn't cost anything, therefore, didn't ameliorate that baby's wound very much. Juana didn't pray directly pray for the recovery of the baby, but she prayed that they might find a pearl that would be enough money to hire a doctor to heal the baby. .
They reached a spot where the bottom was filled with opened oysters. This was the place that had enabled the King of Spain, who had great power in Europe over the past few years, to pay for his wars, and decorate the churches. Kino took 2 ropes. One was tied to a heavy stone, and the other was tied to a basket. He slipped his feet first over the side and with the basket in his hand; he let the rock carry him to the bottom. While searching for a valuable pearl, he heard another song- the Song of the Pearl That Might Be. While down below, he was gathering as many shells that he could get a grab hold of and threw it into the basket. Also, while gathering the shells, he knew of one certain up above. He knew that his "was making the magic of prayer." Then he heard the softly tune of the song of the Undersea. Because he was able to hold his breath for 2 minutes, he was able to work deliberately, selecting the largest shells. He noticed that next to the hummock, there was an oyster lying by itself, not covered with other oysters. This shell was partly open. He slowly pulled the oyster lose and held it tightly against his breast. He untied himself from the rock and swam upward, towards the canoe. .
When he reached the surface, he started to open the oysters up. He had finally opened up all the oysters except for one. The last oyster was the one that he decided to open last, which was the one that he had noticed sitting near hummock. He lifted the flesh, and inside, was the great pearl. This pearl was as perfect as the moon. It was the greatest pearl in the world! In his hands, held the Pearl of the World.
Juana cried out Kino's name and pointed at Coyotito's shoulder.
