A bright sun setting, Sylvia was driving home her cow, a valued companion, wandering through the forest, and listening to birds' singing. Suddenly the air was cut by a sharp whistle not far away. Sylvie knew it wasn't a bird's whistle.
"Hello, little girl," a young man came into sight suddenly, "I've lost my way. Do you think I can spend the night at your house?" Sylvia was alarmed, but still agreed.
When they arrived, her grandma, Mrs. Tilley, welcomed the guest with hospitality. The man explained to them that he was an ornithologist (鸟类学者). "Do you cage them up?" Sylvia asked doubtfully. "Oh no," he answered enthusiastically, "I shoot dozens and dozens of them myself, and preserve them with special chemicals."
"Sylvia knows a lot about birds, too." Her grandmother said proudly.
"Really? I caught a glimpse of a very rare bird, a little white heron (苍鹭), which keeps me around. Have you seen it, too?" He gently asked, looking at Sylvia with some hope.
But Sylvia was watching a frog in the narrow footpath.
"It's a tall, white bird with soft feathers and long thin legs. It probably has its nest at the top of a tall tree." The man continued eagerly.
Sylvia's heart gave a wild beat. She knew that special white bird! She had seen it on the other side of the forest and had once approached softly near where it stood.
The young man added desperately, "I would give $100 to you."
Her grandma gave amazed attention to it, but Sylvia still watched the road.
The next day the young man hovered about the woods, and Sylvia kept him company, having lost her first fear. They had such a wonderful day to enjoy the birds' songs and the thick branches. She had never seen anyone so handsome and charming. A strange excitement filled her heart. Sylvia would have liked him better without his gun. She could not understand why he killed the birds he seemed to like so much. She felt her heart tremble every time he shot an unsuspecting bird as it was singing in the trees.
