The Pearl/The Red Pony

THE PEARLBased on an old Mexican folktale, this is the deeply moving story of the great pearl, how it was discovered, and how it - along with the dreams it represented - was lost. It is the story, too, of a family - the special solidarity of a man, a woman, and their child.. THE RED PONYOn a ranch in the California mountains, a young boy finds both joy and sorrow in taking the responsibility for his horse. The memorable characters include the boy's impatient father; his grandfather, once "the leader of the people", and the hired hand whom the boy believes to be invincible.
