15. 12
How they toiled and sweated to get the hay in! But their efforts
were rewarded, for the harvest was an even bigger success than
they had hoped.
16. 15
Sometimes the work was hard; the implements had been
designed for human beings and not for animals, and it was a
great drawback that no animal was able to use any tool that
involved standing on his hind legs.
17. 6
But the pigs were so clever that they could think of a way round
every difficulty.
18. 12
As for the horses, they knew every inch of the field, and in fact
understood the business of mowing and raking far better than
Jones and his men had ever done.
19. 12
The pigs did not actually work, but directed and supervised the
others. With their superior knowledge it was natural that they
should assume the leadership.
20. 21
Boxer and Clover would harness themselves to the cutter or the
horse-rake (no bits or reins were needed in these days, of
course) and tramp steadily round and round the field with a pig
walking behind and calling out "Gee up, comrade!" or "Whoa
back, comrade!" as the case might be.
21. 15
Question 1: What kind of animal walks behind the horses? (a) a dog (b) a
hen (c) a donkey (d) a pig
Question 1: The animals toiled and sweated to get the ___ in. (a) hay (b)
oats (c) clover (d) apples
Question 1: Who knows the farm better than Jones and his men did? (a) the
pigs (b) the horses (c) the dogs (d) the hens
22. 6
And every animal down to the humblest worked at turning the
hay and gathering it.
23. 6
Even the ducks and hens toiled to and fro all day in the sun,
carrying tiny wisps of hay in their beaks.
24. 6
In the end they finished the harvest in two days' less time than it
had usually taken Jones and his men.
25. 12
Moreover, it was the biggest harvest that the farm had ever seen.
There was no wastage whatever; the hens and ducks with their
sharp eyes had gathered up the very last stalk.
26. 6
And not an animal on the farm had stolen so much as a
mouthful.
27. 12
All through that summer the work of the farm went like
clockwork. The animals were happy as they had never
conceived it possible to be.
28. 15
Question 2: How many days faster than Jones and his men did the animals
get the harvest in? (a) 1 day (b) 2 days (c) 3 days (d) 4 days
Question 2: That summer, the work of the farm went… (a) pretty well. (b)
badly. (c) like clockwork. (d) unattended.
Question 2: How many animals stole from the harvest this year? (a) 3 or 4
(b) only 2 (c) only 1 (d) none at all
29. 12
Every mouthful of food was an acute positive pleasure, now that
it was truly their own food, produced by themselves and for
themselves, not doled out to them by a grudging master.
30. 12
With the worthless parasitical human beings gone, there was
more for everyone to eat. There was more leisure too,
inexperienced though the animals were.
31. 12
They met with many difficulties–for instance, later in the year,
when they harvested the corn, they had to tread it out in the
ancient style and blow away the chaff with their breath.
32. 12
The farm possessed no threshing machine, but the pigs with
their cleverness and Boxer with his tremendous muscles always
pulled them through.
33. 15
Boxer was the admiration of everybody. He had been a hard
worker even in Jones's time, but now he seemed more like three
horses than one; there were days when the entire work of the
farm seemed to rest on his mighty shoulders.
34. 6
From morning to night he was pushing and pulling, always at the
spot where the work was hardest.
35. 15
Question 3: How do the animals thresh the corn? (a) with a machine (b) in
the ancient way (c) they send it to Jones (d) in the rain
Question 3: Why is the animals’ food so tasty now? (a) because it’s theirs
(b) because Jones sent it (c) because of extra salt (d) because of the soil
Question 3: Who’s the hardest worker on the farm? (a) Muriel (b) Mollie
(c) Benjamin (d) Boxer
36. 18
He had made an arrangement with one of the cockerels to call
him in the mornings half an hour earlier than anyone else, and
would put in some volunteer labour at whatever seemed to be
most needed, before the regular day's work began.
37. 9
His answer to every problem, every setback, was "I will work
harder!"–which he had adopted as his personal motto.
38. 12
But everyone worked according to his capacity The hens and
ducks, for instance, saved five bushels of corn at the harvest by
gathering up the stray grains.
39. 12
Nobody stole, nobody grumbled over his rations, the quarrelling
and biting and jealousy which had been normal features of life in
the old days had almost disappeared.
40. 12
Nobody shirked–or almost nobody. Mollie, it was true, was not
good at getting up in the mornings, and had a way of leaving
work early on the ground that there was a stone in her hoof.
41. 9
And the behavior of the cat was somewhat peculiar. It was soon
noticed that when there was work to be done the cat could never
be found.
42. 15
Question 4: How much earlier in the morning does Boxer rise? (a) an hour
(b) half an hour (c) fifteen minutes (d) ten minutes
Question 4: What is Boxer’s motto? (a) “I will not steal” (b) “All animals are
equal” (c) “I will work harder” (d) “All for one and one for all”
Question 4: Who cannot be found when there is work to be done? (a) Boxer
(b) Moses (c) the pigs (d) the cat
43. 9
She would vanish for hours on end, and then reappear at mealtimes, or in the evening after work was over, as though nothing
had happened.
44. 9
But she always made such excellent excuses, and purred so
affectionately, that it was impossible not to believe in her good
intentions.
45. 15
Old Benjamin, the donkey, seemed quite unchanged since the
Rebellion. He did his work in the same slow obstinate way as he
had done it in Jones's time, never shirking and never
volunteering for extra work either.
47. 15
When asked whether he was not happier now that Jones was
gone, he would say only "Donkeys live a long time. None of you
has ever seen a dead donkey," and the others had to be content
with this cryptic answer.
48. 12
On Sundays there was no work. Breakfast was an hour later than
usual, and after breakfast there was a ceremony which was
observed every week without fail.
49. 15
Question 5: Who seems unchanged after the Rebellion? (a) Benjamin
(b) Moses (c) Muriel (d) Clover
Question 5: Which day do the animals take off work? (a) Thursday
(b) Sunday (c) Saturday (d) Tuesday
Question 5: Benjamin always does his work and ____ volunteers. (a) always
(b) sometimes (c) occasionally (d) never
50. 12
First came the hoisting of the flag. Snowball had found in the
harness-room an old green tablecloth of Mrs. Jones's and had
painted on it a hoof and a horn in white.
51. 6
This was run up the flagstaff in the farmhouse garden every
Sunday morning.
52. 15
The flag was green, Snowball explained, to represent the green
fields of England, while the hoof and horn signified the future
Republic of the Animals which would arise when the human race
had been finally overthrown.
53. 15
After the hoisting of the flag all the animals trooped into the big
barn for a general assembly which was known as the Meeting.
Here the work of the coming week was planned out and
resolutions were put forward and debated.
54. 12
It was always the pigs who put forward the resolutions. The
other animals understood how to vote, but could never think of
any resolutions of their own.
55. 15
Snowball and Napoleon were by far the most active in the
debates. But it was noticed that these two were never in
agreement: whatever suggestion either of them made, the other
could be counted on to oppose it.
56. 15
Question 6: Which animal is it that always puts forward the resolutions?
(a) the pigs (b) the dogs (c) the donkey (d) the raven
Question 6: Who always disagrees about things? (a) Squealer and Napoleon
(b) Moses and Boxer (c) Napoleon and Snowball (d) Muriel and Benjamin
Question 6: What color is the flag? (a) Green with white symbols (b) White
with green symbols (c) Green with red symbols (d) Green with gold fringe
57. 21
Even when it was resolved–a thing no one could object to in
itself–to set aside the small paddock behind the orchard as a
home of rest for animals who were past work, there was a
stormy debate over the correct retiring age for each class of
animal.
58. 9
The Meeting always ended with the singing of Beasts of
England, and the afternoon was given up to recreation.
59. 15
The pigs had set aside the harness-room as a headquarters for
themselves. Here, in the evenings, they studied blacksmithing,
carpentering, and other necessary arts from books which they
had brought out of the farmhouse.
60. 9
Snowball also busied himself with organizing the other animals
into what he called Animal Committees.
61. 15
He was indefatigable at this. He formed the Egg Production
Committee for the hens, the Clean Tails League for the cows,
and the Wild Comrades' Re-education Committee (the object of
this was to tame the rats and rabbits).
62. 6
He formed the Whiter Wool Movement for the sheep, and various
others, besides instituting classes in reading and writing.
63. 15
Question 7. How does every meeting end? (a) singing (b) dancing
(c) eating (d) sleeping
Question 7: What room is set aside for the pigs as a headquarters? (a) the
barn (b) the bedroom (c) the harness-room (d) the dressing-room
Question 7: Who organizes the Animal Committees? (a) Benjamin
(b) Squealer (c) Muriel (d) Snowball
64. 6
On the whole, these projects were a failure. The attempt to tame
the wild creatures, for instance, broke down almost immediately.
65. 6
They continued to behave very much as before, and when
treated with generosity, simply took advantage of it.
66. 12
The cat joined the Re-education Committee and was very active
in it for some days. She was seen one day sitting on a roof and
talking to some sparrows who were just out of her reach.
67. 12
She was telling them that all animals were now comrades and
that any sparrow who chose could come and perch on her paw;
but the sparrows kept their distance.
68. 12
The reading and writing classes, however, were a great success.
By the autumn almost every animal on the farm was literate in
some degree.
69. 12
As for the pigs, they could already read and write perfectly. The
dogs learned to read fairly well, but were not interested in
reading anything except the Seven Commandments.
70. 15
Question 8: Who is the cat seen talking to? (a) robins (b) sparrows (c) the
dogs (d) the hens
Question 8: Which animals can already read and write perfectly? (a) the
dogs (b) the cats (c) the ravens (d) the pigs
Question 8: Which animals can already read fairly well? (a) the dogs
(b) the pigs (c) the rabbits (d) the goats
71. 12
Muriel, the goat, could read somewhat better than the dogs, and
sometimes used to read to the others in the evenings from
scraps of newspaper which she found on the rubbish heap.
72. 9
Benjamin could read as well as any pig, but never exercised his
faculty. So far as he knew, he said, there was nothing worth
reading.
73. 6
Clover learnt the whole alphabet, but could not put words
together. Boxer could not get beyond the letter D.
74. 15
He would trace out A, B, C, D, in the dust with his great hoof, and
then would stand staring at the letters with his ears back,
sometimes shaking his forelock, trying with all his might to
remember what came next and never succeeding.
75. 12
On several occasions, indeed, he did learn E, F, G, H, but by the
time he knew them, it was always discovered that he had
forgotten A, B, C, and D.
76. 12
Finally he decided to be content with the first four letters, and
used to write them out once or twice every day to refresh his
memory.
77. 15
Question 9: What does Boxer do to remember his letters? (a) He writes
them on his hoof. (b) he writes them in the dust (c) he sings them in a song
Question 9: Which animal learned all the letters but could not make words?
(a) Boxer (b) Mollie (c) Clover (d) Muriel
Question 9: Who claims that there is nothing worth reading? (a) Clover
(b) Benjamin (c) Moses (d) Muriel
78. 15
Mollie refused to learn any but the six letters which spelt her
own name. She would form these very neatly out of pieces of
twig, and would then decorate them with a flower or two and
walk round them admiring them.
79. 15
None of the other animals on the farm could get further than the
letter A. It was also found that the stupider animals, such as the
sheep, hens, and ducks, were unable to learn the Seven
Commandments by heart.
80. 12
After much thought Snowball declared that the Seven
Commandments could in effect be reduced to a single maxim,
namely: "Four legs good, two legs bad."
81. 12
This, he said, contained the essential principle of Animalism.
Whoever had thoroughly grasped it would be safe from human
influences.
82. 6
The birds at first objected, since it seemed to them that they also
had two legs, but Snowball proved to them that this was not so.
83. 6
"A bird's wing, comrades," he said, "is an organ of propulsion
and not of manipulation. It should therefore be regarded as a leg.
84. 15
Question 10: Squealer says that a bird’s wing is an organ of… (a) production.
(b) propulsion. (c) protrusion. (d) prescription.
Question 10: The animals toiled and sweated to get the ___ in. (a) hay
(b) oats (c) clover (d) apples
Question 10: Who knows the farm better than Jones and his men did?
(a) the pigs (b) the horses (c) the dogs (d) the hens
86. 12
The birds did not understand Snowball's long words, but they
accepted his explanation, and all the humbler animals set to
work to learn the new maxim by heart.
87. 9
FOUR LEGS GOOD, TWO LEGS BAD was inscribed on the end
wall of the barn, above the Seven Commandments and in bigger
letters.
88. 21
When they had once got it by heart, the sheep developed a great
liking for this maxim, and often as they lay in the field they
would all start bleating "Four legs good, two legs bad! Four legs
good, two legs bad!" and keep it up for hours on end, never
growing tired of it.
89. 15
Napoleon took no interest in Snowball's committees. He said
that the education of the young was more important than
anything that could be done for those who were already grown
up.
90. 12
It happened that Jessie and Bluebell had both whelped soon
after the hay harvest, giving birth between them to nine sturdy
puppies.
91. 15
Question 11: What kind of animal walks behind the horses? (a) a dog (b) a
hen (c) a donkey (d) a pig
Question 11: The animals toiled and sweated to get the ___ in. (a) hay
(b) oats (c) clover (d) apples
Question 11: Who knows the farm better than Jones and his men did?
(a) the pigs (b) the horses (c) the dogs (d) the hens
92. 12
As soon as they were weaned, Napoleon took them away from
their mothers, saying that he would make himself responsible
for their education.
93. 12
He took them up into a loft which could only be reached by a
ladder from the harness-room, and there kept them in such
seclusion that the rest of the farm soon forgot their existence.
94. 15
The mystery of where the milk went to was soon cleared up. It
was mixed every day into the pigs' mash. The early apples were
now ripening, and the grass of the orchard was littered with
windfalls.
95. 15
The animals had assumed as a matter of course that these
would be shared out equally; one day, however, the order went
forth that all the windfalls were to be collected and brought to
the harness-room for the use of the pigs.
96. 15
At this some of the other animals murmured, but it was no use.
All the pigs were in full agreement on this point, even Snowball
and Napoleon. Squealer was sent to make the necessary
explanations to the others.
97. 12
"Comrades!" he cried. "You do not imagine, I hope, that we pigs
are doing this in a spirit of selfishness and privilege? Many of us
actually dislike milk and apples. I dislike them myself.
98. 15
Question 12: What kind of animal walks behind the horses? (a) a dog
(b) a hen (c) a donkey (d) a pig
Question 12: The animals toiled and sweated to get the ___ in. (a) hay
(b) oats (c) clover (d) apples
Question 12: Who knows the farm better than Jones and his men did?
(a) the pigs (b) the horses (c) the dogs (d) the hens
99. 15
Our sole object in taking these things is to preserve our health.
Milk and apples (this has been proved by Science, comrades)
contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a
pig.
100. 15
We pigs are brainworkers. The whole management and
organization of this farm depend on us. Day and night we are
watching over your welfare. It is for your sake that we drink that
milk and eat those apples.
101. 21
Do you know what would happen if we pigs failed in our duty?
Jones would come back! Yes, Jones would come back! Surely,
comrades," cried Squealer almost pleadingly, skipping from side
to side and whisking his tail, "surely there is no one among you
who wants to see Jones come back?"
102. 12
Now if there was one thing that the animals were completely
certain of, it was that they did not want Jones back. When it was
put to them in this light, they had no more to say.
103. 15
The importance of keeping the pigs in good health was all too
obvious. So it was agreed without further argument that the milk
and the windfall apples (and also the main crop of apples when
they ripened) should be reserved for the pigs alone.
