5  A Philippine fisherman was feeling down on his luck when a house fire forced him to clear out his possessions and change locations. Then a good luck charm that he had kept under his bed changed his life. The unidentified man had fished out a giant pearl from the ocean when his anchor got stuck on the rock while sailing off a coastal island in the Philippines ten years ago.  6  When he was forced to sell it,  7  the shocked tourist agent at Puerto Princesa told him that the 77-pound giant pearl that he had kept hidden in his rundown wooden house was the biggest pearl in the world, which was valued at ￡ 76 million.
The Pearl of Allah, which is currently on display in a New York museum, only weighs 14 pounds. That is five times smaller than the pearl that the fisherman just handed in. The monstrous pearl measured at 1 foot wide and 2.2 feet long, is going to be verified by local experts and international authorities before hopefully going on display to attract more tourists in the little town.

 5  一位菲律宾渔民时运不济，一场房屋火灾迫使他清理了自己的财物并更换了住处。后来，他藏在床下的一个幸运符改变了他的生活。10年前，当这名身份不明的男子在菲律宾一个沿海岛屿附近航行，而船锚卡在了岩石上时，他从海里捞出了一颗巨大的珍珠。 6  当他被迫出售那颗珍珠时， 7  普林塞萨港的一个旅行代理商震惊地告诉他，他藏在破旧木屋里的那颗77磅重的巨型珍珠是世界上最大的珍珠，价值7600万英镑。
目前在纽约一家博物馆展出的“真主之珠”只有14磅重。也就是渔民刚刚交上来的那颗珍珠的五分之一那么大。这颗大得吓人的珍珠宽1英尺，长2.2英尺，将经过当地专家和国际权威机构的验证，然后有望进行展示，以吸引更多的游客到小镇来。
