At the farm, revolt is in the air. The pigs drive the farmer away and post new rules.

“Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy. Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend. No animal shall wear clothes. No animal shall sleep in a bed. No animal shall drink alcohol. No animal shall kill any other animal. All animals are equal.” 

Time goes by. The young revolution turns away from its principles. The rain washes away the commandments. The cynical donkey can still decipher a few words but it seems some have been added.

“All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others.”
