The article

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/1162153.stm

As you can see the title of the article, ' money cannot buy happiness,' you can know that this article is related to the parable, 'The Pearl.' The theme of the parable is that money cannot make one happy. This article says 'experts say that excessive wealth, particularly for people unaccustomed to it, such as lottery winners, can actually cause unhappiness.' In 'The Pearl,' Kino is not accustomed to wealth, so it causes unhappiness. In other words, wealth just makes Kino and his family unhappy, for example, Koyotito dies in the parable.
