Plot Summary: Mr and Mrs Jones own the Manor House in Willingdon.  On the farm they have a pig named Old Major (formerly known as Willingdon Beauty) who is the leader and motivator for all the animals on the farm.  He is highly regarded on the farm; all the animals on the farm would give up an hour of sleep to hear what he had to say.  Which is because he speaks such benevolent and wisdom words.  (All the animals could communicate with each other).  Every night all the animals would come to the immense Barn, for the meeting.  The animals that would  attend this meeting were the two cart horses Boxer and Clover, the white goat Muriel, the bad tempered donkey Benjamin, the three dogs Bluebell, Jessie and Pincher.  And also who came were the Hens, Pigeons and Pigs.  At every meeting Old Major would say the same thing, which he is getting old and he is going to die soon.  And that if the animals did not take over the farm, the humans (Mr. Jones) is going to kill them.  After every meeting they would sing a song named ‘The Beast Of England’, this was to commemorate the animals that died by the hands of the humans.  Three nights afterwards, Old Major Died.  On a pellucid sky day, which was Saturday, Mr. Jones went into Willingdon and got so inebriated at the pub Red Lion that he did not come back till Sunday.  When he did, he fell on the sofa.  The animals were unfed from the previous day, so the animals got reckless and took matters in there own hands.  The animals break into the food shed.  This did not help as the two carthorses Boxer and Clover, ran Mr and Mrs Jones out of their own farm.  All the animals are now free; they can roam around the farm where they want.  Now this is a quandary for the Jones, they have to get their farm and home back.
