    the pool.” (Steinbeck, 80). One aspect I like about the story is how nature had protected Kino, his family and the villagers. Steinbeck states, “The beach was yellow sand, but at the water’s edge a rubble of shell and algae took its place. Fiddler crabs bubbled and sputtered in their holes in the sand, and in the shallows little lobsters popped in and out of their tiny homes in the rubble and sand. The sea bottom was rich with crawling and swimming and growing things. The brown algae waved in the
