Read the passage from Animal Farm.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. 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.By the late summer the news of what had happened on Animal Farm had spread across half the county.

The Meeting always ended with the singing of "Beasts of England," and the afternoon was given up to recreation.
