Our
Leader
,
Comrade
Napoleon
,
"
announced
Squealer
,
speaking
very
slowly
and
firmly
,
"
has
stated
categorically
—
categorically
,
comrade
—
that
Snowball
was
Jones
’
s
agent
from
the
very
beginning
—
yes
,
and
from
long
before
the
Rebellion
was
ever
thought
of
.
"
"
Ah
,
that
is
different
!
"
said
Boxer
.
"
If
Comrade
Napoleon
says
it
,
it
must
be
right
.
"
"
That
is
the
true
spirit
,
comrade
!
"
cried
Squealer
,
but
it
was
noticed
he
cast
a
very
ugly
look
at
Boxer
with
his
little
twinkling
eyes
.
He
turned
to
go
,
then
paused
and
added
impressively
:
"
I
warn
every
animal
on
this
farm
to
keep
his
eyes
very
wide
open
.
For
we
have
reason
to
think
that
some
of
Snowball
’
s
secret
agents
are
lurking
among
us
at
this
moment
!
"
Four
days
later
,
in
the
late
afternoon
,
Napoleon
ordered
all
the
animals
to
assemble
in
the
yard
.
When
they
were
all
gathered
together
,
Napoleon
emerged
from
the
farmhouse
,
wearing
both
his
medals
(
for
he
had
recently
awarded
himself
"
Animal
Hero
,
First
Class
"
,
and
"
Animal
Hero
,
Second
Class
"
)
,
with
his
nine
huge
dogs
frisking
round
him
and
uttering
growls
that
sent
shivers
down
all
the
animals
’
spines
.
They
all
cowered
silently
in
their
places
,
seeming
to
know
in
advance
that
some
terrible
thing
was
about
to
happen
.
Napoleon
stood
sternly
surveying
his
audience
;
then
he
uttered
a
high
-
pitched
whimper
.
Immediately
the
dogs
bounded
forward
,
seized
four
of
the
pigs
by
the
ear
and
dragged
them
,
squealing
with
pain
and
terror
,
to
Napoleon
’
s
feet
.
The
pigs
’
ears
were
bleeding
,
the
dogs
had
tasted
blood
,
and
for
a
few
moments
they
appeared
to
go
quite
mad
.
To
the
amazement
of
everybody
,
three
of
them
flung
themselves
upon
Boxer
.
Boxer
saw
them
coming
and
put
out
his
great
hoof
,
caught
a
dog
in
mid
-
air
,
and
pinned
him
to
the
ground
.
The
dog
shrieked
for
mercy
and
the
other
two
fled
with
their
tails
between
their
legs
.
Boxer
looked
at
Napoleon
to
know
whether
he
should
crush
the
dog
to
death
or
let
it
go
.
Napoleon
appeared
to
change
countenance
,
and
sharply
ordered
Boxer
to
let
the
dog
go
,
whereat
Boxer
lifted
his
hoof
,
and
the
dog
slunk
away
,
bruised
and
howling
.
Presently
the
tumult
died
down
.
The
four
pigs
waited
,
trembling
,
with
guilt
written
on
every
line
of
their
countenances
.
Napoleon
now
called
upon
them
to
confess
their
crimes
.
They
were
the
same
four
pigs
as
had
protested
when
Napoleon
abolished
the
Sunday
Meetings
.
Without
any
further
prompting
they
confessed
that
they
had
been
secretly
in
touch
with
Snowball
ever
since
his
expulsion
,
that
they
had
collaborated
with
him
in
destroying
the
windmill
,
and
that
they
had
entered
into
an
agreement
with
him
to
hand
over
Animal
Farm
to
Mr
.
Frederick
.
They
added
that
Snowball
had
privately
admitted
to
them
that
he
had
been
Jones
’
s
secret
agent
for
years
past
.
When
they
had
finished
their
confession
,
the
dogs
promptly
tore
their
throats
out
,
and
in
a
terrible
voice
Napoleon
demanded
whether
any
other
animal
had
anything
to
confess
.
The
three
hens
who
had
been
the
ringleaders
in
the
attempted
rebellion
over
the
eggs
now
came
forward
and
stated
that
Snowball
had
appeared
to
them
in
a
dream
and
incited
them
to
disobey
Napoleon
’
s
orders
.
They
,
too
,
were
slaughtered
.
Then
a
goose
came
forward
and
confessed
to
having
secreted
six
ears
of
corn
during
the
last
year
’
s
harvest
and
eaten
them
in
the
night
.
Then
a
sheep
confessed
to
having
urinated
in
the
drinking
pool
—
urged
to
do
this
,
so
she
said
,
by
Snowball
—
and
two
other
sheep
confessed
to
having
murdered
an
old
ram
,
an
especially
devoted
follower
of
Napoleon
,
by
chasing
him
round
and
round
a
bonfire
when
he
was
suffering
from
a
cough
.
They
were
all
slain
on
the
spot
.
And
so
the
tale
of
confessions
and
executions
went
on
,
until
there
was
a
pile
of
corpses
lying
before
Napoleon
’
s
feet
and
the
air
was
heavy
with
the
smell
of
blood
,
which
had
been
unknown
there
since
the
expulsion
of
Jones
.
When
it
was
all
over
,
the
remaining
animals
,
except
for
the
pigs
and
dogs
,
crept
away
in
a
body
.
They
were
shaken
and
miserable
.
They
did
not
know
which
was
more
shocking
—
the
treachery
of
the
animals
who
had
leagued
themselves
with
Snowball
,
or
the
cruel
retribution
they
had
just
witnessed
.
In
the
old
days
there
had
often
been
scenes
of
bloodshed
equally
terrible
,
but
it
seemed
to
all
of
them
that
it
was
far
worse
now
that
it
was
happening
among
themselves
.
Since
Jones
had
left
the
farm
,
until
today
,
no
animal
had
killed
another
animal
.
Not
even
a
rat
had
been
killed
.
They
had
made
their
way
on
to
the
little
knoll
where
the
half
-
finished
windmill
stood
,
and
with
one
accord
they
all
lay
down
as
though
huddling
together
for
warmth
—
Clover
,
Muriel
,
Benjamin
,
the
cows
,
the
sheep
,
and
a
whole
flock
of
geese
and
hens
—
everyone
,
indeed
,
except
the
cat
,
who
had
suddenly
disappeared
just
before
Napoleon
ordered
the
animals
to
assemble
.
For
some
time
nobody
spoke
.
Only
Boxer
remained
on
his
feet
.
He
fidgeted
to
and
fro
,
swishing
his
long
black
tail
against
his
sides
and
occasionally
uttering
a
little
whinny
of
surprise
.
Finally
he
said
:
"
I
do
not
understand
it
.
I
would
not
have
believed
that
such
things
could
happen
on
our
farm
.
It
must
be
due
to
some
fault
in
ourselves
.
The
solution
,
as
I
see
it
,
is
to
work
harder
.
From
now
onwards
I
shall
get
up
a
full
hour
earlier
in
the
mornings
.
"
