“Her dark eyes made little reflected stars. She was looking at him as she was always looking at him when he awakened.”
When Kino's baby son is bitten by a scorpion he lacks the money to pay for a doctor. While treating the wound by the sea, Kino uncovers a massive oyster which holds an exceptionally large pearl within.
Riffing on the idea that money is the root of all evil, this short story is a compelling tale of greed and the grief it brings. It does not have a happy ending.
I'm not sure I can fill you on more details without ruining the whole story. I suggest you invest your time in reading what amounts to a very quick read and one that is descriptive and beautifully and gut wrenchingly delivered.
5 out of 5 times money can't buy you happiness.
