Answer: Sylvia struggles between protecting the heron and gaining the money.
Explanation: “She’s a child of nature, but like most humans, she longs for human companionship and for what money can buy. Up until this point, that was never a real problem for her. But now, she has to make a decision. Should she give up the heron’s nesting place and win the ornithologist’s approval and $10, or should she keep what she knows to herself?”
She didn’t to much care for money, she was an outdoorsy, nature kind of person so money really didn’t matter to her
