'Now, comrades,' cried Snowball, throwing down the paint-brush, 'to the hay field! Let us make it a point of honour 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, set up 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 cows fairly successfully, their totters 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 mash,' 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.'
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared. 〈George Orwell, Animal Farm〉
