The
singing
of
this
song
threw
the
animals
into
the
wildest
excitement
.
Almost
before
Major
had
reached
the
end
,
they
had
begun
singing
it
for
themselves
.
Even
the
stupidest
of
them
had
already
picked
up
the
tune
and
a
few
of
the
words
,
and
as
for
the
clever
ones
,
such
as
the
pigs
and
dogs
,
they
had
the
entire
song
by
heart
within
a
few
minutes
.
And
then
,
after
a
few
preliminary
tries
,
the
whole
farm
burst
out
into
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
in
tremendous
unison
.
The
cows
lowed
it
,
the
dogs
whined
it
,
the
sheep
bleated
it
,
the
horses
whinnied
it
,
the
ducks
quacked
it
.
They
were
so
delighted
with
the
song
that
they
sang
it
right
through
five
times
in
succession
,
and
might
have
continued
singing
it
all
night
if
they
had
not
been
interrupted
.
Unfortunately
,
the
uproar
awoke
Mr
.
Jones
,
who
sprang
out
of
bed
,
making
sure
that
there
was
a
fox
in
the
yard
.
He
seized
the
gun
which
always
stood
in
a
corner
of
his
bedroom
,
and
let
fly
a
charge
of
number
6
shot
into
the
darkness
.
The
pellets
buried
themselves
in
the
wall
of
the
barn
and
the
meeting
broke
up
hurriedly
.
Everyone
fled
to
his
own
sleeping
-
place
.
The
birds
jumped
on
to
their
perches
,
the
animals
settled
down
in
the
straw
,
and
the
whole
farm
was
asleep
in
a
moment
.
Three
nights
later
old
Major
died
peacefully
in
his
sleep
.
His
body
was
buried
at
the
foot
of
the
orchard
.
This
was
early
in
March
.
During
the
next
three
months
there
was
much
secret
activity
.
Major
’
s
speech
had
given
to
the
more
intelligent
animals
on
the
farm
a
completely
new
outlook
on
life
.
They
did
not
know
when
the
Rebellion
predicted
by
Major
would
take
place
,
they
had
no
reason
for
thinking
that
it
would
be
within
their
own
lifetime
,
but
they
saw
clearly
that
it
was
their
duty
to
prepare
for
it
.
The
work
of
teaching
and
organising
the
others
fell
naturally
upon
the
pigs
,
who
were
generally
recognised
as
being
the
cleverest
of
the
animals
.
Pre
-
eminent
among
the
pigs
were
two
young
boars
named
Snowball
and
Napoleon
,
whom
Mr
.
Jones
was
breeding
up
for
sale
.
Napoleon
was
a
large
,
rather
fierce
-
looking
Berkshire
boar
,
the
only
Berkshire
on
the
farm
,
not
much
of
a
talker
,
but
with
a
reputation
for
getting
his
own
way
.
Snowball
was
a
more
vivacious
pig
than
Napoleon
,
quicker
in
speech
and
more
inventive
,
but
was
not
considered
to
have
the
same
depth
of
character
.
All
the
other
male
pigs
on
the
farm
were
porkers
.
The
best
known
among
them
was
a
small
fat
pig
named
Squealer
,
with
very
round
cheeks
,
twinkling
eyes
,
nimble
movements
,
and
a
shrill
voice
.
He
was
a
brilliant
talker
,
and
when
he
was
arguing
some
difficult
point
he
had
a
way
of
skipping
from
side
to
side
and
whisking
his
tail
which
was
somehow
very
persuasive
.
The
others
said
of
Squealer
that
he
could
turn
black
into
white
.
These
three
had
elaborated
old
Major
’
s
teachings
into
a
complete
system
of
thought
,
to
which
they
gave
the
name
of
Animalism
.
Several
nights
a
week
,
after
Mr
.
Jones
was
asleep
,
they
held
secret
meetings
in
the
barn
and
expounded
the
principles
of
Animalism
to
the
others
.
At
the
beginning
they
met
with
much
stupidity
and
apathy
.
Some
of
the
animals
talked
of
the
duty
of
loyalty
to
Mr
.
Jones
,
whom
they
referred
to
as
"
Master
,
"
or
made
elementary
remarks
such
as
"
Mr
.
Jones
feeds
us
.
If
he
were
gone
,
we
should
starve
to
death
.
"
Others
asked
such
questions
as
"
Why
should
we
care
what
happens
after
we
are
dead
?
"
or
"
If
this
Rebellion
is
to
happen
anyway
,
what
difference
does
it
make
whether
we
work
for
it
or
not
?
"
,
and
the
pigs
had
great
difficulty
in
making
them
see
that
this
was
contrary
to
the
spirit
of
Animalism
.
The
stupidest
questions
of
all
were
asked
by
Mollie
,
the
white
mare
.
The
very
first
question
she
asked
Snowball
was
:
"
Will
there
still
be
sugar
after
the
Rebellion
?
"
"
No
,
"
said
Snowball
firmly
.
"
We
have
no
means
of
making
sugar
on
this
farm
.
Besides
,
you
do
not
need
sugar
.
You
will
have
all
the
oats
and
hay
you
want
.
"
"
And
shall
I
still
be
allowed
to
wear
ribbons
in
my
mane
?
"
asked
Mollie
.
"
Comrade
,
"
said
Snowball
,
"
those
ribbons
that
you
are
so
devoted
to
are
the
badge
of
slavery
.
Can
you
not
understand
that
liberty
is
worth
more
than
ribbons
?
"
Mollie
agreed
,
but
she
did
not
sound
very
convinced
.
