Jiro's Pearl

Daniel Powers

Jiro and his grandmother are poor, but very happy - until Jiro's grandmother falls ill. Jiro takes the last of their rice to the village to sell it so that he may buy medicine. But he loses it along the way. What follows is a magical, mysterious adventure - involving a great fish and a huge pearl.
