Farmer Jones, despised the tyranny of “a pack of good-for-nothing animals” overthrowing the government, taking his leadership position and managing their own affairs. This seemed idealized to Jones, just when, the mantra ‘Beasts of England’ circulated the countryside.
On October 12th, at the crack of dawn when “the corn was cut and stacked and some of it was already threshed, a flight of pigeons came whirling through the air” and all was indefatigable until Jones entered.
“All the pigeons, to the number of thirtyfive, flew to and fro over the men’s heads and muted upon them from mid-air”
Without questioning his callousness, Jones and his men assembled, with half a dozen others belonging to Foxwood and Pinchfield. So, they intruded the five-barred gate and approached the cart-track that led to the farm.
Animals Retreat
Jones vigorously carried a gun while the others sharpened their sticks. Jones marched in front with intention: to recapture, reclaim and regain the farm and his former ownership of the property currently seized by farm animals
All animals mustered in their respective positions, Snowball, the strategist of it all, launched his first and second attack against the offensives.
The second attack of Jone’s and his army included Muriel, Benjamin, and all the sheep, while Snowball plotted against Jones, however, Jones fought back until Snowball deliberately signaled a motion of retreat to the animals.
