All
the
men
were
gone
except
one
.
Back
in
the
yard
Boxer
was
pawing
with
his
hoof
at
the
stable
-
lad
who
lay
face
down
in
the
mud
,
trying
to
turn
him
over
.
The
boy
did
not
stir
.
"
He
is
dead
,
"
said
Boxer
sorrowfully
.
"
I
had
no
intention
of
doing
that
.
I
forgot
that
I
was
wearing
iron
shoes
.
Who
will
believe
that
I
did
not
do
this
on
purpose
?
"
"
No
sentimentality
,
comrade
!
"
cried
Snowball
from
whose
wounds
the
blood
was
still
dripping
.
"
War
is
war
.
The
only
good
human
being
is
a
dead
one
.
"
"
I
have
no
wish
to
take
life
,
not
even
human
life
,
"
repeated
Boxer
,
and
his
eyes
were
full
of
tears
.
"
Where
is
Mollie
?
"
exclaimed
somebody
.
Mollie
in
fact
was
missing
.
For
a
moment
there
was
great
alarm
;
it
was
feared
that
the
men
might
have
harmed
her
in
some
way
,
or
even
carried
her
off
with
them
.
In
the
end
,
however
,
she
was
found
hiding
in
her
stall
with
her
head
buried
among
the
hay
in
the
manger
.
She
had
taken
to
flight
as
soon
as
the
gun
went
off
.
And
when
the
others
came
back
from
looking
for
her
,
it
was
to
find
that
the
stable
-
lad
,
who
in
fact
was
only
stunned
,
had
already
recovered
and
made
off
.
The
animals
had
now
reassembled
in
the
wildest
excitement
,
each
recounting
his
own
exploits
in
the
battle
at
the
top
of
his
voice
.
An
impromptu
celebration
of
the
victory
was
held
immediately
.
The
flag
was
run
up
and
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
was
sung
a
number
of
times
,
then
the
sheep
who
had
been
killed
was
given
a
solemn
funeral
,
a
hawthorn
bush
being
planted
on
her
grave
.
At
the
graveside
Snowball
made
a
little
speech
,
emphasising
the
need
for
all
animals
to
be
ready
to
die
for
Animal
Farm
if
need
be
.
The
animals
decided
unanimously
to
create
a
military
decoration
,
"
Animal
Hero
,
First
Class
,
"
which
was
conferred
there
and
then
on
Snowball
and
Boxer
.
It
consisted
of
a
brass
medal
(
they
were
really
some
old
horse
-
brasses
which
had
been
found
in
the
harness
-
room
)
,
to
be
worn
on
Sundays
and
holidays
.
There
was
also
"
Animal
Hero
,
Second
Class
,
"
which
was
conferred
posthumously
on
the
dead
sheep
.
There
was
much
discussion
as
to
what
the
battle
should
be
called
.
In
the
end
,
it
was
named
the
Battle
of
the
Cowshed
,
since
that
was
where
the
ambush
had
been
sprung
.
Mr
.
Jones
’
s
gun
had
been
found
lying
in
the
mud
,
and
it
was
known
that
there
was
a
supply
of
cartridges
in
the
farmhouse
.
It
was
decided
to
set
the
gun
up
at
the
foot
of
the
Flagstaff
,
like
a
piece
of
artillery
,
and
to
fire
it
twice
a
year
—
once
on
October
the
twelfth
,
the
anniversary
of
the
Battle
of
the
Cowshed
,
and
once
on
Midsummer
Day
,
the
anniversary
of
the
Rebellion
.
