Thunk!

Waxwing startled from her sleep, falling out of the tiny bed in the home that the girl gave her.

She blinked open her eyes and saw—­

Meow!

Waxwing hopped back from the evil cat whose face filled one of the small openings of the house.

Escape! It was her only hope. She must go into the woods. There she could find Moose and confess her failure.

Waxwing moved slowly. The cat struck! It pressed its paw through the gap. Its front leg was not long enough, thankfully, and Waxwing darted away.

The house had stairs, and Waxwing took them, hopping carefully down one to the next.

Oh, how she wished her wing worked! She would fly above this dreadful cat. Instead she slipped out an opening on the lower level. She dropped to the floor, and almost instantly the cat was upon her. She tucked under something warm and shiny—a little overhang that protected her. Slowly, slowly, trying not to draw its attention, she hopped. She could see her exit route: a small hole in the floor that led who knew where. She just knew the cat couldn’t follow her.

The cat feigned indifference, but Waxwing was wise enough to know that trick. She never took her eyes off the cat. Closer, closer, closer, and then, squeeze! She dropped through the hole, landing on a pile of soft leaves. Outdoors? Yes! She was outdoors. There were the woods! Her home! She moved slowly toward them. There were many dangers for a bird with a broken wing.
