   You seriously mean that neither you nor Dan knows this story? It's like

   No taboo in the Bradbury story that I'm thinking of, but they did live   
   in a cage. And it's older than 20 years, since I read it 22 years ago,   
   and in Danish translation. So changes are you're not thinking about the   
   Bradbury story (also, did he ever manage to squeeze anythig into Analog?).   
      
   But I'm mostly just extremely surprised that neither you nor Dan knows   
   about "Frost and Fire". I assumed it was easily on the top 10 list of   
   speculative fiction short stories that everybody knows about.
