A White Heron by Sarah Orne Jewett
A young country girl living with her grandmother in a pine wood on the coast befriends a charming, bird-hunting naturalist who hopes to locate a rare white heron; torn between the promise of his admiration and a newly felt kinship with the wild, she secretly climbs a towering pine, witnesses the heron in its mysterious grandeur, and, in a quiet act of moral awakening, refuses to betray the bird’s resting place—choosing the sanctity of nature and her own emerging conscience over human praise and reward.
