After we left the Temple of Heaven we stopped at a place where they sold fresh water pearls. There was a women who showed us how to open an oyster to get the pearls. She let me dip a net into the water and pick up a big oyster.
Saltwater pearls have one or
two pearls in them. The woman asked us to guess how many pearls would be in the
fresh water oyster. People guessed
6 and 3 and 4. Noni guessed
18. She opened the oyster and we
all knew Noni had won.
The woman gave Noni two of
the pearls. The pearls were whitish pink. The woman then told us to shop for
pearls. She said we would get a
big discount.
