A poor man Kino found very big pearl. But because of it, he got in trouble many times and even committed murders. So finally he threw the pearl to the sea.
I was scared when he committed murders to save the pearl. His eager to become rich made him do. I felt horrible that money can change one's personality. ( )

But because of the pearl , some bad things happen.
I like this story. Kino's pearl is worth nothing and he hurt , but I think he shows consideration for his family. He should 't save an pearl , but he should save his family. ( )
