← At a moment when the opening was clear, the men were glad enough to rush out of the yard and make a bolt for the main road. 🔊
← Napoleon, on the other hand, argued that the great need of the moment was to increase food production, and that if they wasted time on the windmill they would all starve to death. 🔊
← The animals listened first to Napoleon, then to Snowball, and could not make up their minds which was right; indeed, they always found themselves in agreement with the one who was speaking at the moment. 🔊

← And in his spare moments, of which there were not many nowadays, he would go alone to the quarry, collect a load of broken stone, and drag it down to the site of the windmill unassisted. 🔊

← And a moment later, out from the door of the farmhouse came a long file of pigs, all walking on their hind legs. 🔊
