Whoever sees that he borrowed pearls, it is a child who will not survive. If he sees that he brought up many pearls from the bottom of the sea, or from a river, enough to be measured by bushels, carried in loads and weighed on the steelyard, he will obtain lawful wealth from the king's treasures or from the man associated with that river. Many pearls are servants, and a large inheritance for one expecting an inheritance. Many pearls are knowledge for the scholar, office for the governor, trade for the merchant, and for the market trader and the craftsman, their trade. Pearls are the perfection and beauty of everything.

Whoever sees that he swallowed pearls is concealing testimony that he holds.
