And what has happened to that milk which should have been breeding up sturdy calves? 🔊

As the human beings approached the farm buildings, Snowball launched his first attack. All the pigeons, to the number of thirtyfive, flew to and fro over the men's heads and muted upon them from mid−air; and while the men were dealing with this, the geese, who had been hiding behind the hedge, rushed out and pecked viciously at the calves of their legs. 🔊

And so within five minutes of their invasion they were in ignominious retreat by the same way as they had come, with a flock of geese hissing after them and pecking at their calves all the way. 🔊
