The
pigs
had
an
even
harder
struggle
to
counteract
the
lies
put
about
by
Moses
,
the
tame
raven
.
Moses
,
who
was
Mr
.
Jones
’
s
especial
pet
,
was
a
spy
and
a
tale
-
bearer
,
but
he
was
also
a
clever
talker
.
He
claimed
to
know
of
the
existence
of
a
mysterious
country
called
Sugarcandy
Mountain
,
to
which
all
animals
went
when
they
died
.
It
was
situated
somewhere
up
in
the
sky
,
a
little
distance
beyond
the
clouds
,
Moses
said
.
In
Sugarcandy
Mountain
it
was
Sunday
seven
days
a
week
,
clover
was
in
season
all
the
year
round
,
and
lump
sugar
and
linseed
cake
grew
on
the
hedges
.
The
animals
hated
Moses
because
he
told
tales
and
did
no
work
,
but
some
of
them
believed
in
Sugarcandy
Mountain
,
and
the
pigs
had
to
argue
very
hard
to
persuade
them
that
there
was
no
such
place
.
Their
most
faithful
disciples
were
the
two
cart
-
horses
,
Boxer
and
Clover
.
These
two
had
great
difficulty
in
thinking
anything
out
for
themselves
,
but
having
once
accepted
the
pigs
as
their
teachers
,
they
absorbed
everything
that
they
were
told
,
and
passed
it
on
to
the
other
animals
by
simple
arguments
.
They
were
unfailing
in
their
attendance
at
the
secret
meetings
in
the
barn
,
and
led
the
singing
of
‘
Beasts
of
England
’
,
with
which
the
meetings
always
ended
.
Now
,
as
it
turned
out
,
the
Rebellion
was
achieved
much
earlier
and
more
easily
than
anyone
had
expected
.
In
past
years
Mr
.
Jones
,
although
a
hard
master
,
had
been
a
capable
farmer
,
but
of
late
he
had
fallen
on
evil
days
.
He
had
become
much
disheartened
after
losing
money
in
a
lawsuit
,
and
had
taken
to
drinking
more
than
was
good
for
him
.
For
whole
days
at
a
time
he
would
lounge
in
his
Windsor
chair
in
the
kitchen
,
reading
the
newspapers
,
drinking
,
and
occasionally
feeding
Moses
on
crusts
of
bread
soaked
in
beer
.
His
men
were
idle
and
dishonest
,
the
fields
were
full
of
weeds
,
the
buildings
wanted
roofing
,
the
hedges
were
neglected
,
and
the
animals
were
underfed
.
June
came
and
the
hay
was
almost
ready
for
cutting
.
On
Midsummer
’
s
Eve
,
which
was
a
Saturday
,
Mr
.
Jones
went
into
Willingdon
and
got
so
drunk
at
the
Red
Lion
that
he
did
not
come
back
till
midday
on
Sunday
.
The
men
had
milked
the
cows
in
the
early
morning
and
then
had
gone
out
rabbiting
,
without
bothering
to
feed
the
animals
.
When
Mr
.
Jones
got
back
he
immediately
went
to
sleep
on
the
drawing
-
room
sofa
with
the
News
of
the
World
over
his
face
,
so
that
when
evening
came
,
the
animals
were
still
unfed
.
At
last
they
could
stand
it
no
longer
.
One
of
the
cows
broke
in
the
door
of
the
store
-
shed
with
her
horn
and
all
the
animals
began
to
help
themselves
from
the
bins
.
It
was
just
then
that
Mr
.
Jones
woke
up
.
The
next
moment
he
and
his
four
men
were
in
the
store
-
shed
with
whips
in
their
hands
,
lashing
out
in
all
directions
.
This
was
more
than
the
hungry
animals
could
bear
.
With
one
accord
,
though
nothing
of
the
kind
had
been
planned
beforehand
,
they
flung
themselves
upon
their
tormentors
.
Jones
and
his
men
suddenly
found
themselves
being
butted
and
kicked
from
all
sides
.
The
situation
was
quite
out
of
their
control
.
They
had
never
seen
animals
behave
like
this
before
,
and
this
sudden
uprising
of
creatures
whom
they
were
used
to
thrashing
and
maltreating
just
as
they
chose
,
frightened
them
almost
out
of
their
wits
.
After
only
a
moment
or
two
they
gave
up
trying
to
defend
themselves
and
took
to
their
heels
.
A
minute
later
all
five
of
them
were
in
full
flight
down
the
cart
-
track
that
led
to
the
main
road
,
with
the
animals
pursuing
them
in
triumph
.
Mrs
.
Jones
looked
out
of
the
bedroom
window
,
saw
what
was
happening
,
hurriedly
flung
a
few
possessions
into
a
carpet
bag
,
and
slipped
out
of
the
farm
by
another
way
.
Moses
sprang
off
his
perch
and
flapped
after
her
,
croaking
loudly
.
Meanwhile
the
animals
had
chased
Jones
and
his
men
out
on
to
the
road
and
slammed
the
five
-
barred
gate
behind
them
.
And
so
,
almost
before
they
knew
what
was
happening
,
the
Rebellion
had
been
successfully
carried
through
:
Jones
was
expelled
,
and
the
Manor
Farm
was
theirs
.
For
the
first
few
minutes
the
animals
could
hardly
believe
in
their
good
fortune
.
Their
first
act
was
to
gallop
in
a
body
right
round
the
boundaries
of
the
farm
,
as
though
to
make
quite
sure
that
no
human
being
was
hiding
anywhere
upon
it
;
then
they
raced
back
to
the
farm
buildings
to
wipe
out
the
last
traces
of
Jones
’
s
hated
reign
.
The
harness
-
room
at
the
end
of
the
stables
was
broken
open
;
the
bits
,
the
nose
-
rings
,
the
dog
-
chains
,
the
cruel
knives
with
which
Mr
.
Jones
had
been
used
to
castrate
the
pigs
and
lambs
,
were
all
flung
down
the
well
.
The
reins
,
the
halters
,
the
blinkers
,
the
degrading
nosebags
,
were
thrown
on
to
the
rubbish
fire
which
was
burning
in
the
yard
.
So
were
the
whips
.
All
the
animals
capered
with
joy
when
they
saw
the
whips
going
up
in
flames
.
Snowball
also
threw
on
to
the
fire
the
ribbons
with
which
the
horses
’
manes
and
tails
had
usually
been
decorated
on
market
days
.
"
Ribbons
,
"
he
said
,
"
should
be
considered
as
clothes
,
which
are
the
mark
of
a
human
being
.
All
animals
should
go
naked
.
"
When
Boxer
heard
this
he
fetched
the
small
straw
hat
which
he
wore
in
summer
to
keep
the
flies
out
of
his
ears
,
and
flung
it
on
to
the
fire
with
the
rest
.
