Fox's Feud
“There were those who thought it should be avenged, while others advised greater caution. Amongst the smaller animals there was widespread alarm. They had thought themselves safe and now it appeared there was a new threat to their lives.
The strongest advocates of taking revenge for the death of Dreamer were the birds – Tawny Owl, Kestrel and Whistler. Fox, however, was wise enough to recognize that, in the event of a prolonged state of conflict, they stood to suffer least. Their wings were thei...r constant passport to safety. For a long time he brooded over what course of action to take. Vixen’s grief was an aching wound in his heart, and he itched for battle. But he did not want to further endanger the survival of his other three cubs. So for the time being Scarface’s blow remained unanswered.
Over the next few weeks the cubs were never allowed to wander far, and at night both Fox and Vixen accompanied them on their hunting trips. Soon the three were very nearly as big as their parents and Bold, in particular, was wishing to become more independent.MoreLess
