Boxer "the hero" and the cleverest animals

In the farm, Snowball found a book called Julius Caesar’s; this book is about war, so Snowball as a leader he investigated and read the book. He prepared a plan to beat the humans. “This had long been expected, and all preparations had been made. Snowball, who had studied an old book of Julius Caesar’s campaigns which he had found in the farmhouse, was in charge of the defensive operations. He gave his orders quickly, and in a couple of minutes every animal was at his post, pg. 29.

Snowball had planned some of a good strategies so when humans came back to the farm, they were prepared to attack. As soon as humans arrived, Snowball “launched his first attack”, pg. 29. Humans had guns, but Snowball said to every animal to hide, because that said in the book the studied, furthermore they did what their leader said. Humans thought they won and that they had the farm back. But they were wrong. The animals hide as Snowball said. So when humans tried to attack they were prepared.

Boxer saw that a human had a gun and that he wanted to killed the animals, so he went to fight them and for their friends, boxer jumps and knocked out a man, he didn’t meant to do that, he was trying to defend himself from all those guns that humans had, this is why humans were scared and left the farm so animals won.
