The Pearl by John Steinbeck

In the poor town of La Paz, a young man named Kino lived with his wife and his infant son Coyotito.  One day, while fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, he found the pearl of the world.  Assuming that the pearl would bring great joy to the town, Kimo showed everyone the beauty and largeness of the pearl.  News spread like wildfire.  But, one thing Kino did not notice were the secret enemies waiting to attack and steal the pearl.  Kino's vicious greed for money leads him astray from his bright future.
