While the doctor checks up on Coyotito he finds that there is something blue in Coyotitos eye and gives him medicine that eventually makes it go away. Kino assures the doctor that he will pay him tomorrow when he sells the pearl. Later that night someone tries to break into kino's brush hut and attempts to steal the pearl, but Kino drives him away. Juana tells Kino that he should get rid of the pearl before something worse happens, but Kino insists that he will sell the pearl to the dealers tomorrow and they will no longer have possession of the pearl. The next day Kino is accompanied by his neighbors on his way to sell the pearl. When they arrived the buyer offered Kino one thousand pesos-the basic monetary unit of Mexico, several other Latin American countries-whereas Kino thinks he deserves fifty-thousand pesos. Other dealers come in and inspect the pearl all offering the same price of one thousand pesos. Kino refuses to sell the pearl for less than fifty-thousand pesos and declares that he will sell his pearl in the capital. That night, Kino is attacked again by thieves, where he drives them off again.
