A WHITE HERON SUMMARY

An eight-year-old girl named Sylvia has come from a crowded manufacturing town which is a shy type little girl to live in the farm with her grandmother, Mrs. Tilley. As the story begins, Sylvia has been living with her grandmother for nearly a year, learning to adopt to the country ways. She helps her grandmother Mrs. Tilley by taking over some of the more physical chores, such as finding Mistress M

ooly, the cow, each evening in the fields where she grazes and bringing her home. By means of this and other tasks, along with her explorations in the forest, Sylvia has become a country girl who dearly loves her new home.
One evening she was approached by a hunter, which is looking for birds to shoot and make as a collection. This handsome stranger is looking and searching for the bird White Heron. He goes with Sylvia on her way with hopes of spending the night at her grandmother’s house. He lived there and slept for that night and after they eat, he said that he will give 10 dollars to whom can show and lead him to the White Heron.
Early in the morning, Sylvia decided to look and search for the bird by herself so that she can be sure of showing the hunter its exact location when he awakes. She climb to the tallest pine tree in the forest so that she can see the entire place, and she found the heron, just as she had thought she would. But after Sylvia saw everything about that particular bird, she decided not to tell the hunter about it, despite his entreaties. Sylvia knows that she would be awarded by that money offered by the hunter for giving him that information but she cannot play any part in bringing about the birds nest.the stranger eventually went home without any thanks to the owner of the house, very disappointed.
