Benjamin
felt a nose nuzzling at his shoulder. He looked round. It
was Clover. Her old eyes looked dimmer than ever. Without
saying anything, she tugged gently at his mane and led
him round to the end of the big barn, where the Seven
Commandments were written. For a minute or two they stood
gazing at the tarred wall with its white lettering. "My sight is failing," she said finally. "Even when I was young I could not have read what was written there. But it appears to me that that wall looks different. Are the Seven Commandments the same as they used to be, Benjamin?" For once Benjamin consented to break his rule, and he read out to her what was written on the wall. There was nothing there now except a single Commandment. It ran: ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS |
