This book have five stories.
And I like 'A White Heron' and 'Luck'.
'A White Heron' had main character.
Her name was Sylvia.She was shy girl.
She knew nest of heron,But she didn't tell this for young man.I think her choice was good because if she tell that, the heron would be killed.
'Luck' is interesting story also.
Scoresby was fool man. But he was respected from other people because of luck.
I want to have luck and go well like him. ( )

The girl whose name is Sylvia is poor at communicate with people. She goes to her grandmother's house and her friend is only cow which her grandmother feed. One day young man come her house and Sylvia and he became friends. But he is hunter and he wants know where heron is. Sylvia knew it but she doesn't tell him because he will kill them. Then he disappointed her. She lost friend but that's fine with her.
I think sylvia suffer from which she should choose youngman or heron. I wish she could have many friend.
This story is one of story in this book. So it's easy to read. ( )

A main character;Sylvia of this book is quite complex situation.If I were her,I don't know what to do.
I think it is difficult to decide which friends is more important.
I want her to make friends more and more.
And I want her not to give up her dream. ( )
