5. No animal shall drink alcohol.

　　6. No animal shall kill any other animal.

　　7. All animals are equal.

　　It was very neatly written, and except that “friend” was written “freind” and one of the “S’s” was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the Commandments by heart.

　　“Now, comrades,” cried Snowball, throwing down the paintbrush, “to the hayfield! Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”

　　But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, let out a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters (蹄子) being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.

　　“What is going to happen to all that milk?” said someone.

　　“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food,” said one of the hens.

　　“Never mind the milk, comrades!” cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting.”
