STORY NAME: PAX BY SARA PENNYPACKER:

"He picked up the toy soldier and began to retrace his trail.
As he loped out of the woods, a jay streaked in above him,
shrieking. The fox froze, torn.
His boy was waiting to play the game. But birds! Hours
upon hours he had watched birds from his pen, quivering at
the sight of them slicing the sky as recklessly as the lightning
he often saw on summer evenings. The freedom of their flights
always mesmerized him.
The jay called again, deeper in the forest now, but
answered by a chorus of reply. For one more moment the
fox hesitated, peering into the trees for another sight of the
electric-blue wedge."
