Good luck belongs to the brave – those who have the courage to ride into the mouth of danger for the pearl of happiness. And that’s exactly what this wonderful adventure is all about.
Twelve-year-old Ferdinand and his little sister Manuela live with their elder brother Jose and his wife Esmeralda in a little village, in Goa. Work as hard as they might around the house, they are neither appreciated nor given enough to eat. It’s almost always a thin rice porridge that they get, while Jose and Esmeralda eat delicious fish curry.
Very unhappy living with their brother, the two children want to leave as soon as possible. But Jose does not allow them to leave. He is afraid of what the neighbors might say.
Opportunity presents itself in the form of Gomez, who works as a groom(马夫) for a rich woman, Dona Flavia. He takes pity on the hungry children and decides to take them along when delivering some horses to another kingdom .
But the journey is full of danger of various kinds: the travelers have to cross a thick forest and a river. Most of all, they have to avoid the men sent by the Sultan of Bijapur, who wants to steal the precious horses…
