At the far edge of the woods where the land was highest, a great pine treestood.
The top of this ancient tree towered above all the others and made it visible for miles and miles.Sylvia had always believed that whoever climbed on the top of it could see the ocean. Now shethought of the tree with a new excitement. Why, if she climbed at dawn, would she not be able to seethe whole world, and discover where the white heron flew, and find its hidden nest?What an adventure! As she lay awake in her bed, she thought of the glory and triumph of tellingeveryone the secret of where the heron hid. Sylvia knew her mother and her guests were fast asleep, soshe crept out of the house and followed the path throw the woods.
The air was filled with the sleepysongs of half-awakened birds.There was the huge tree, seemed to sleep in the fading moonlight. Sylvia bravely began to climb, theblood racing throw her veins, her bare hands and feet gripping the bark. First she had to climb the oaktree that grew alongside. Sylvia felt her way easily. She had always climbed there before, and knewthat higher up one of the oak’s upper brunches rubbed against the pine trunk.
When she reached it, theway was harder than she had thought. The sharp twigs scratched her and the sticky pine sap made herlittle fingers clumsy and stiff.The tree seemed to grow taller as she climbed, and she began to doubt if she could reach her goalbefore dawn. But Sylvia passed the last thorny branch, her face shining with triumph as she stood atthe very top, weak and shaking with exhaustion.There was the sea, dazzling in the first morning light. Two hawks flew east, so far below her she feltshe, too, might fly away among the clouds. The birds sung louder and louder until the sun came up.This beauty almost overwhelmed little Sylvia, but she did not forget her mission.
Where was the whiteheron? She looked down to the green marsh where she had seen him before. There he was. Rising andsweeping towards the great pine tree. He landed, and Sylvia froze as she watched the heron, perchedtwo branches below, calling to his mate, cleaning his feathers for the new day.Test B.Tasks 1-4. Choose A, B, C or D.B1.
