Chapter 8

The hot summer sun shone through the leaves of the old tree. Small Hawk leaned against the trunk. Tipping his head back, he looked up into the branches. There he saw a nest of sticks. He heard a screech. Looking out over the meadow, he saw a hawk flying toward the tree, holding a rabbit in its talons. The bird landed on the nest, and Small Hawk could hear the peeping of the young as they fought for their share of the meal. The hawk stood on the branch beside the nest and looked down into Small Hawk’s eyes. It cocked its head to one side and then took flight, circling the area in front of the oak. Small Hawk knew where his quest was to begin.
