Short Story - Title Help!
Does anyone recognize the following short story plot?
A man is killed (in battle, I think). His body decays and is absorbed by the grass. The grass is eaten by a cow, which is slaughtered for its meat. (Or it may be eaten by a goat who is milked for its milk?) The food is consumed by a man and then this man kills the one who originally killed the soldier?
I think I'm missing a few steps and he may actually eventually work himself into the iron of the weapon that is used to kill the man who killed him. I can't quite recall.
Anyway, anyone have a story name or author? I really want my kids to read this short story.
