Breaking News: Collapse of Windmill . . . Convicted of Crime: Snowball

After the shocking collapse of the windmill last night, animals everywhere are in a panic search for Snowball, who is thought to be the atrocious mastermind behind the breakdown of the windmill.

“The windmill has been sabotaged by Snowball,” Napoleon said, “who will do anything to destroy Animal Farm in sheer malignity, thinking to set back out plans to avenge himself. It is obvious that he had crept in at night and destroyed our hard work, who else could it possibly be?”

According to the investigation, pig footprints have been found in the grass at a little distance from the knoll. They were traced a couple of yards leading to a hole in the hedge. Napoleon was quick to announce that they were Snowball’s. Also he publicized that anyone who would bring Snowball to him would receive a full bushel of apples.  

Some animals are shocked but come out with no outburst; instead they keep to themselves and went along with Napoleon.

“Napoleon is always right,” Boxer, the horse, said. “I will work harder, the windmill must be completed.”

Against the animals the humans claim to counter-argue Napoleon. They say that the windmill had fallen apart because the walls were to thin, but nevertheless recovery is on the way.

“Snowball must be punished for backstabbing the entire farm. Why must he be taking his anger out on the same people who helped during the rebellion? We thought all of us were family; apparently that is not the case,” said Squealer, also a pig.

Things are going roughly and we all hope for the best. This winter is going to make us hard, but like Boxer said, “Work Harder”
