← And remember also that in fighting against Man, we must not come to resemble him. 🔊
← Last night, however, it came back to me in my dream. And what is more, the words of the song also came back−words, I am certain, which were sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for generations. 🔊
← Snowball also threw on to the fire the ribbons with which the horses' manes and tails had usually been decorated on market days. 🔊
← Snowball also busied himself with organising the other animals into what he called Animal Committees. 🔊
← It was also found that the stupider animals, such as the sheep, hens, and ducks, were unable to learn the Seven Commandments by heart. 🔊
← The birds at first objected, since it seemed to them that they also had two legs, but Snowball proved to them that this was not so. 🔊
← The importance of keeping the pigs in good health was all too obvious. So it was agreed without further argument that the milk and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone. 🔊
← The whole thing would be over in a fortnight, they said. They put it about that the animals on the Manor Farm (they insisted on calling it the Manor Farm; they would not tolerate the name "Animal Farm") were perpetually fighting among themselves and were also rapidly starving to death. 🔊
← There was also "Animal Hero, Second Class," which was conferred posthumously on the dead sheep. 🔊
← They had also dropped their championship of Jones, who had given up hope of getting his farm back and gone to live in another part of the county. 🔊
← It was also more suited to the dignity of the Leader (for of late he had taken to speaking of Napoleon under the title of "Leader") to live in a house than in a mere sty. 🔊
← Nevertheless, some of the animals were disturbed when they heard that the pigs not only took their meals in the kitchen and used the drawing−room as a recreation room, but also slept in the beds. 🔊
← The rats, which had been troublesome that winter, were also said to be in league with Snowball. 🔊
← It was also announced that the gun would be fired every year on Napoleon's birthday, as well as on the other two anniversaries. 🔊
← At about the same time it was given out that Napoleon had arranged to sell the pile of timber to Mr. Pilkington; he was also going to enter into a regular agreement for the exchange of certain products between Animal Farm and Foxwood. 🔊
← The pigeons who were still sent out to spread tidings of the Rebellion were forbidden to set foot anywhere on Foxwood, and were also ordered to drop their former slogan of "Death to Humanity" in favour of "Death to Frederick." 🔊
← The animals now also learned that Snowball had never−as many of them had believed hitherto−received the order of "Animal Hero First Class." 🔊
← About this time, too, it was laid down as a rule that when a pig and any other animal met on the path, the other animal must stand aside: and also that all pigs, of whatever degree, were to have the privilege of wearing green ribbons on their tails on Sundays. 🔊
← The farm had had a fairly successful year, but was still short of money. There were the bricks, sand, and lime for the schoolroom to be purchased, and it would also be necessary to begin saving up again for the machinery for the windmill. 🔊
← This was to be suppressed. There had also been a very strange custom, whose origin was unknown, of marching every Sunday morning past a boar's skull which was nailed to a post in the garden. 🔊
