"Comrades," he said quietly, "do you know who is responsible for this?

In sheer malignity, thinking to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion,

Comrades, here and now I pronounce the death sentence upon Snowball.

'Animal Hero, Second Class,' and half a bushel of apples to any animal who brings him to justice.

Almost immediately the footprints of a pig were discovered in the grass at a little distance from the knoll.

They could only be traced for a few yards, but appeared to lead to a hole in the hedge.

Napoleon snuffed deeply at them and pronounced them to be Snowball's.

"No more delays, comrades!" cried Napoleon when the footprints had been examined.

This very morning we begin rebuilding the windmill, and we will build all through the winter, rain or shine.

We will teach this miserable traitor that he cannot undo our work so easily.

Forward, comrades! Long live the windmill! Long live Animal Farm!"
