It begins with the story of Mero in old age returning to his family ranch, but sidetracks by telling the story of Mero’s youth, and of the old man’s girlfriend.

I read the short story “A White Heron” by Sarah Orne Jewett, the first thing that I found interesting and strange is that the grandmother Mrs.Tilley lets the young man stay at there house and feeds him.
