7. A Priceless Treasure

One day, you’re enjoying a little time outside on the submarine’s platform. In the distance, you see a range of mountains about two thousand feet high. You consult your map and learn that you’re nearing the Island of Ceylon off the Indian Peninsula.

Captain Nemo joins you on the platform. He glances at your map and says, “The Island of Ceylon is famous for its pearl fisheries.”

You’ve read about the pearl fisheries and would like to see them. But you worry about the captain’s reaction. He seems unstable lately. Asking him for favors might not be a wise choice. You don’t know how he will react. He may lock you up again—or worse!

But then, he also knows that you are a scientist and are curious about all marine life. He might expect you to want to see the fisheries. Will you ask for this favor? Or is it better left unsaid? What will you choose to do?
