A White Heron is the first of five great American short stories. In this story, Sylvia's new friend is excited about a strange white bird, but will Sylvia tell him where it lives? In The Story of an Hour, a young woman is told of her husband's death. The third story, Luck, is about a famous Englishman. The fourth story, The Complete Life of John Hopkins, about people in the Big City. And in The Tell-Tale Heart, a man is very, very afraid!
