As Molly Lakewater walked into the bird estuary she was quite proud of her ethnic heritage. Here was a protected area that her esteemed ancestors had valued; here was an everlasting piece of her past; here was the essence of her culture. When international scientists had finished their evaluation to declare that the land should be placed in eternal protection, her family had rejoiced. It was the only ethical solution, others declared, and the only way to let evolution continue untouched by man in at least one place. The estuary had almost been destroyed. It was only because of her family's care that the stuary had evaded that planned destruction and called in the experts.莫莉雷克沃特走入鸟类栖息的港湾时，她为自己的民族传统感到非常自豪。这是一块得到保护的土地，德高望重的先辈们一直珍视这块地方。这里有她对过去的永久回忆，这里是她的文化的精华所在。各国科学家在完成了评估之后宣布这块土地应该得到永久保护，她的家人都感到欢欣鼓舞。其他人则说这是惟一合乎道德的解决办法，同时也是惟一能让进化在不受人类干扰的情况下继续进行的办法，至少在一个地方是这样。港湾差点儿就被毁掉了。只是由于她家的关心，港湾才逃过了一劫，请来了专家。
