And the hunger-taught master of craft, the red fox, who has waited perhaps half the afternoon for his chance while the fowls were dusting themselves under the hedge, and just as they were turning supper-ward to the yard one has stopped a moment to give her feathers a final shake and found death springing upon her.
What does " the hunger-taught master of craft" refer to?
@Stacy2013,
The red fox is the hunger-taught master of craft.
He has learned to be crafty as a result of hunger. He has developed a strategy to get his next meal - a fowl.
