They said that the pearl was fake and that it would decay in a matter of time. Kino became very frustrated by all of the nonsense that was going on. Now Kino, Juana, and Coyotito are ready to escape from this nightmare and begin a journey. Every store that he went to offered him a small amount of money for the pearl. Coyotito is mistaken by one of the trackers as a coyote. However, although he is hard working, that does not mean that he is very bright. Nevertheless Kino went into town hoping to sell the pearl. Upon their arrival home, they both agree that the pearl has caused them enough bad luck. Word of this find quickly spread through town, and eventually made its way to the doctor.
