In The Pearl, what are some of the things Kino says he will have when he sells his pearl?

The first thing that Kino imagines upon finding the pearl is that he will be able to afford a doctor for his son, Coyotito, who was stung by a scorpion. 


As the novel progresses, Kino's imagination for what the pearl could offer him and his family grows. He imagines that he and his wife, Juana, could afford a proper wedding ceremony in their local church. He also imagines that their family could buy new, expensive things, like clothing, a harpoon (for fishing), and a hunting rifle. 


Kino's biggest dream, however, is that he could use the money he earns from selling the pearl to send his son to school. He imagines buying Coyotito a school uniform and books, and he imagines that his son will have many more opportunities after he is educated.
