For
the
next
two
days
Boxer
remained
in
his
stall
.
The
pigs
had
sent
out
a
large
bottle
of
pink
medicine
which
they
had
found
in
the
medicine
chest
in
the
bathroom
,
and
Clover
administered
it
to
Boxer
twice
a
day
after
meals
.
In
the
evenings
she
lay
in
his
stall
and
talked
to
him
,
while
Benjamin
kept
the
flies
off
him
.
322
Boxer
professed
not
to
be
sorry
for
what
had
happened
.
If
he
made
a
good
recovery
,
he
might
expect
to
live
another
three
years
,
and
he
looked
forward
to
the
peaceful
days
that
he
would
spend
in
the
corner
of
the
big
pasture
.
It
would
be
the
first
time
that
he
had
had
leisure
to
study
and
improve
his
mind
.
He
intended
,
he
said
,
to
devote
the
rest
of
his
life
to
learning
the
remaining
twenty
-
two
letters
of
the
alphabet
.
323
However
,
Benjamin
and
Clover
could
only
be
with
Boxer
after
working
hours
,
and
it
was
in
the
middle
of
the
day
when
the
van
came
to
take
him
away
.
The
animals
were
all
at
work
weeding
turnips
under
the
supervision
of
a
pig
,
when
they
were
astonished
to
see
Benjamin
come
galloping
from
the
direction
of
the
farm
buildings
,
braying
at
the
top
of
his
voice
.
It
was
the
first
time
that
they
had
ever
seen
Benjamin
excited
indeed
,
it
was
the
first
time
that
anyone
had
ever
seen
him
gallop
.
"
Quick
,
quick
!
"
he
shouted
.
"
Come
at
once
!
They
re
taking
Boxer
away
!
"
Without
waiting
for
orders
from
the
pig
,
the
animals
broke
off
work
and
raced
back
to
the
farm
buildings
.
Sure
enough
,
there
in
the
yard
was
a
large
closed
van
,
drawn
by
two
horses
,
with
lettering
on
its
side
and
a
sly
-
looking
man
in
a
low
-
crowned
bowler
hat
sitting
on
the
driver
s
seat
.
And
Boxer
s
stall
was
empty
.

The
animals
crowded
round
the
van
.
"
Good
-
bye
,
Boxer
!
"
they
chorused
,
"
good
-
bye
!
"
325
"
Fools
!
Fools
!
"
shouted
Benjamin
,
prancing
round
them
and
stamping
the
earth
with
his
small
hoofs
.
"
Fools
!
Do
you
not
see
what
is
written
on
the
side
of
that
van
?
"
326
That
gave
the
animals
pause
,
and
there
was
a
hush
.
Muriel
began
to
spell
out
the
words
.
But
Benjamin
pushed
her
aside
and
in
the
midst
of
a
deadly
silence
he
read
:
327
"
Alfred
Simmonds
,
Horse
Slaughterer
and
Glue
Boiler
,
Willingdon
.
Dealer
in
Hides
and
Bone
-
Meal
.
Kennels
Supplied
.
Do
you
not
understand
what
that
means
?
They
are
taking
Boxer
to
the
knacker
s
!

A
cry
of
horror
burst
from
all
the
animals
.
At
this
moment
the
man
on
the
box
whipped
up
his
horses
and
the
van
moved
out
of
the
yard
at
a
smart
trot
.
All
the
animals
followed
,
crying
out
at
the
tops
of
their
voices
.
Clover
forced
her
way
to
the
front
.
The
van
began
to
gather
speed
.
Clover
tried
to
stir
her
stout
limbs
to
a
gallop
,
and
achieved
a
canter
.
"
Boxer
!
"
she
cried
.
"
Boxer
!
Boxer
!
Boxer
!
"
And
just
at
this
moment
,
as
though
he
had
heard
the
uproar
outside
,
Boxer
s
face
,
with
the
white
stripe
down
his
nose
,
appeared
at
the
small
window
at
the
back
of
the
van
.
329
"
Boxer
!
"
cried
Clover
in
a
terrible
voice
.
"
Boxer
!
Get
out
!
Get
out
quickly
!
They
re
taking
you
to
your
death
!
"
330
All
the
animals
took
up
the
cry
of
"
Get
out
,
Boxer
,
get
out
!
"
But
the
van
was
already
gathering
speed
and
drawing
away
from
them
.
It
was
uncertain
whether
Boxer
had
understood
what
Clover
had
said
.
But
a
moment
later
his
face
disappeared
from
the
window
and
there
was
the
sound
of
a
tremendous
drumming
of
hoofs
inside
the
van
.
He
was
trying
to
kick
his
way
out
.
The
time
had
been
when
a
few
kicks
from
Boxer
s
hoofs
would
have
smashed
the
van
to
matchwood
.
But
alas
!
his
strength
had
left
him
;
and
in
a
few
moments
the
sound
of
drumming
hoofs
grew
fainter
and
died
away
.
In
desperation
the
animals
began
appealing
to
the
two
horses
which
drew
the
van
to
stop
.
"
Comrades
,
comrades
!
"
they
shouted
.
"
Don
t
take
your
own
brother
to
his
death
!
"
But
the
stupid
brutes
,
too
ignorant
to
realise
what
was
happening
,
merely
set
back
their
ears
and
quickened
their
pace
.
Boxer
s
face
did
not
reappear
at
the
window
.
