Sylvia Timeline and Summary

  • Sylvia is chilling with her cow.
  • She's approached (and frightened) by a young hunter who needs a place to crash for the night.
  • Sylvia brings him home to her grandmother's house and he comes inside.
  • The hunter offers them ten dollars if one of them can lead him to the rare white heron; Sylvia knows where it is, but isn't sure what to do.
  • The next day, Sylvia begins to develop a crush on the hunter.
  • She decides to take him up on his offer and runs to a distant, tall oak tree that she can climb and see the heron.
  • She climbs up to the tippy-top, where she sees the white heron and is overwhelmed by the beauty of her surroundings.
  • Sylvia returns home, but is unable to spill the beans to the hunter or her grandmother.
