Diary Entry 4: Boxer

Time passes really quickly and winter is approaching. We are all dead tired but happy. Although we don’t get more food, at least we are not getting less. And in many ways the animal method of doing things was more efficient and saved labour.

 

 J Building the windmill is much harder than we had imagined. All the animals worked hard, even the sheep and geese who are much weaker than the rest of us. I’m just glad that I have a lot of strength! And I can help the rest. J So I decided to ease their burden by waking up earlier than the rest, going alone to the quarry to drag down a load of broken stones to the site. Clover advised me to be careful not to overstrain myself. But she’s just being paranoid and naggy as usual. How can I?! My motto is “I will work harder”.

 

 

Anyway, Napoleon created some new policies that some of the animals got upset over. (Im fine! =^.^=)

 

Firstly, he announced that “From now onwards Animal Farm would engage in trade with the neighbouring farms”. The other animals claimed that the earlier resolutions included “Never have any dealings with human beings, never to engage in trade, never to make use of money.” (Still fine!J)

Then, the pigs moved into the farmhouse and took up their residence there. (Squealer is also right! – how can our leader sleep in the barn like us?)

Later, the pigs also took their meals in the kitchen, used the drawing room as a recreation room and slept in beds. (What’s wrong with it anyway? If Napoleon say so, it must be right!)

Lastly, the pigs would get up an hour later than the rest of the other animals. (Oh it’s only natural! They need more rest.)

No matter what happens, I will do my best to build the windmill.
