Juana prayed that they would find a pearl, after which they could pay the doctor to heal Coyotito.
She had not prayed directly for the recovery of the baby- she had prayed that they might find a pearl with which to hire the doctor to cure the baby, for the minds of people are as unsubstantial as the mirage of the Gulf.
