The next day, Juana tells her husband that she feels bad about keeping all of this money secret from others around them however, she still believes that the pearl will bring nothing but trouble if they sell it. That night, someone tries breaking into their house but runs off when Kino appears at the door with his shotgun (he had been sleeping next to Juana on a pallet on the floor).
