The Big Barn is a room. "You can see all of the animals gathered at the barn, except for Moses the tame raven, who is sleeping on a perch behind the back door. Old Major is in the center of the room. He gets up onto the pile of hay, clears his throat and starts to speak: [paragraph break]'Now, comrades, what is the nature of this life of ours? Let us face it, our lives are miserable, laborious and short. We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty. [paragraph break]'But is this simply part of the order of Nature? No, comrades, a thousand times no! Why then do we continue in this miserable condition? Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings. There, comrades, is the answer to all our problems. It is summed up in a single word â€” Man. Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever.' [paragraph break]You cheer, along with all the animals. [paragraph break]'Many years ago,' Old Major continues, 'when I was a little pig, my mother and the other sows used to sing an old song of which they knew only the tune and the first three words. I had known that tune in my infancy, but it had long since passed out of my mind. Last night, however, it came back to me in my dream. And what is more, the words of the song also came back - words, I am certain, which were sung by the animals of long ago and have been lost to memory for generations. I will sing you that song now, comrades. I am old and my voice is hoarse, but when I have taught you the tune you can sing it better for yourselves. It is called [']Beasts of England['].[paragraph break]Old Major begins to sing. He teaches you and the other animals the melodic tune and the heroic lyrics of [']Beasts of England[']."

Without thinking, you fling yourself upon Mr Jones, and find the other animals doing the same. In less than a minute, Mr Jones and his men return to their heels and flee. The Manor Farm is yours.[paragraph break]You notice the horses murmuring and stepping outside, and you do the same. You see Snowball next to a sign reading 'MANOR FARM' at the entrance of the farm.
