Chapter 4
The Battle of the Cowshed
“I have no wish to take life, not even human life,” repeated Boxer, and his eyes were full of tears.
Discussion:
“Everyday Snowball and Napoleon sent out flights of pigeons whose instructions were to mingle with the animals on neighbouring farms, tell them the story of the Rebellion, and teach them the tune of ‘Beasts of England.’
Why did they do this? Please leave a comment below. Thank you.
Extra: Extract from ‘The Internationale’, Anthem of the Soviet Union (1918-1944)
You've sucked enough of our blood, you vampires,
With prison, taxes and poverty!
You have all the power, all the blessings of the world,
And our rights are but an empty sound!
We'll make our own lives in a different way —
And here is our battle cry:
All the power to the people of labour!
And away with all the parasites!
Refrain
Contemptible you are in your wealth,
You kings of coal and steel!
You had your thrones, parasites,
At our backs erected.
All the factories, all the chambers —
All were made by our hands.
It's time! We demand the return
Of that which was stolen from us.
