← All the habits of Man are evil. And, above all, no animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. 🔊
← 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. 🔊
← They tiptoed from room to room, afraid to speak above a whisper and gazing with a kind of awe at the unbelievable luxury, at the beds with their feather mattresses, the looking−glasses, the horsehair sofa, the Brussels carpet, the lithograph of Queen Victoria over the drawing−room mantelpiece. 🔊

← The animals watched his coming and going with a kind of dread, and avoided him as much as possible. 🔊
← The animals were so disturbed that they could hardly sleep in their stalls. Every night, it was said, he came creeping in under cover of darkness and performed all kinds of mischief. 🔊
← The animals were thoroughly frightened. It seemed to them as though Snowball were some kind of invisible influence, pervading the air about them and menacing them with all kinds of dangers. 🔊
← Never had the farm−and with a kind of surprise they remembered that it was their own farm, every inch of it their own property−appeared to the animals so desirable a place. 🔊
← When he did appear, he was attended not only by his retinue of dogs but by a black cockerel who marched in front of him and acted as a kind of trumpeter, letting out a loud "cock−a−doodle−doo" before Napoleon spoke. 🔊
