In a small seaside village on the coast of Mexico lived a family of 5. Busily organising their grandmothers birthday.
Can we swim first?
You two make yourself useful go get some oysters from the beach for the party
No we can't swim yet. We need a full bucket of oysters before we go back.
Why do I always have to take my sister she's such a baby?!
Finally we made it.
No I'm not!
Hurry up Esperanza, the tide will be in soon!
How many have you found so far?
Half the bucket's full already!
Your going too fast, and why do I have to carry the bucket?
Diego can we go home now? The bucket is full and I'm hungry.
Diego drops to the ground in agony, while Esperanza stands still in shock. Diego had stepped on a stone fish, which he had only seen at the last second.
DIEGO?!
One minute...I just found a massive oyster!
GET HELP!
QUCIK PLEASE HELP
WOW its ginormous, and look there's a pearl !
What's happened? How can I help?
This would have to be worth a fortune!
Your son will be fine, he just needs some rest
Thank you so much doctor we are very grateful.
We are very lucky the otherer doctor was on the beach today.
Quickly we must get you to the hospital
We can't thank you enough for saving our son, please accept this pearl as payment.
The doctor helped Diego limp to the hospital, while Esperanza ran ahead. To tell their parents what had happened.
It hurts so much!
We're almost there
No I cannot accept it, please keep it for your family.
