I'm trying to find out the name/author of a sci-fi story I read many years ago; I don't think it was a book but part of a compliation of stories.
The plot was (roughly) as follows: The main character lives in a country surrounded by 4 high walls, and he wants to build a glider/plane to escape. He's harrassed by the local town bullies, who even damage his aircraft as he's about to use it. He crashes and lands atop the wall. The next day, someone from *outside* the wall lands and greets him and tells him that the wall was a test of sorts.
Any assistance or a pointer to a story plot search engine I don't know about would be very much appreciated!
