This is a great story. A young man is hunting rare birds and I think he's stuffing them? Or studying them somehow? He offers a young girl $10, which would be a lot for her and her grandma, asking her for help tracking down a rare white heron. She knows where the bird is, but does she tell him? Do we make a personal sacrifice for the greater good?
