It has been a long time since Jones was gone, spending most of the time at the Red Lion, a bar in the town. He was one of the local farmers in this county. At his farm, the cows grew inpatient, the dogs were nervous, and the pigs were anxious, tonight, old major was to give a speech.
Mr. Jones finally arrived home, as drunk as ever, he trudged over to the food shack and locked it up, slurring words to himself. He then went towards the chicken coop, where the hens sat frightened in their nests. "Stupid animals" yelled Mr. Jones, kicking the door closed, but it slammed so hard that it broke down, Jones then made his way towards his house.
The animals watched him carefully, as soon as the all the lights in the house were out, the animals got out of their pens and shacks.
Snowball quietly shifted an old board underneath the gate, to open it for the rest of the pigs, h then made his way towards the cow shed, opening the gates.
Then he went to Boxer's Benjamin's, and Clover's stable, and loosened the slide bolts and walked off, Boxer pushed his now open stall door with his nose and walked with the sheep and cows, Benjamin the donkey and Clover the mare caught up to the shire.
The pigs took a seat at the front, then the sheep then the cows, and then the equines, the pigeons and the raven, along with the hens all perched on the rafters, and the geese settled themselves wherever they could.
Old Major looked upon the animals and nodded, he was about to speak, but then the door creaked open, and the animals looked petrified towards the door, fearing that it would be Mr. Jones.
then the black cat simply walked through, making it's way towards the dog, until the familiar dark blue-gray fur dashed hurriedly through the entrance and looked for a place to sit.
Snowball whispered her name and she bounded to him taking a seat in between Snowball and Napoleon.
"comrades..." Old Major started, gaining everyone's full attention. "In my years of sitting in my stall, I had time to think... we do not need this nonsense of slavery amongst animals... hens! how many times have Jones's men taken away your eggs? you would have wonderful sons and daughters if it weren't for their greedy hands!... Boxer, what do you think Jones will do after you have used your very last ounce of strength? you would be nothing but glue... thats why comrades, I am proposing a rebellion! from now on, all animals... are equal!!!"
The animals cheered and sang beasts of england, Crystal bounced onto her paws and sang her heart out to the song, for she could sing it forever and never get bored of it.
She sang so beautifully, that Snowball, and Napoleon blushed in an instant.
But just as the song ended, Old Major flung his head up and gasped, he then fell dead, his head hanging over the step of the stall. The animals cried furiously, they all grieved especially Crystal, she dashed towards his body, but was stopped by Snowball, who grabbed her scruff gently into his mouth and held her back mourning with her...
