I wheeled in the last batch of corn husks. I was so tired from working since 5:00 in the morning to finish the corn hauling , that i didnt even notice the pigeons fleeting back in excitement. Quickly and swiftly they descended and brought the news to Animal Farm. they said they tens of men holding sticks marching through the front gate. Mr. Jones was among them, holding a gun. At this my vision turned blurry and i was ready to charge! I think Snowball saw this in my eyes because he said,
"Boxer, not yet! I have a plan."
I got ready, i was in the third line of defense waiting in the cowshed. I slowly prodded forward ready to attack. I could now just hear the second line of defense coming back. Once again i heard Snowball's high pitched squeal telling us to go and charge.
I was the first one out of the shed. My vision turned blurry, i charged forward and reared my giant hoofs! Forward i kept kicking and running up to the men and neighing as loud as i could. I could see the men starting to lose their confidence and retreating. I ran back to the yard chasing after the stable boy who was holding a rat. I neighed to loud he turned and fell. I quickly stomped on him, After a while he became silent and still. I tried to turn him over, i was worried now, worried i had hurt him too badly. I looked down at my hooves to see my iron shoes. I gasped.
"What have i done?!" I cried to myself.
"Boxer what are you doing?" Snowball asked, blood trickling down his back.
"I'm so sorry, i didnt mean to kill him, i forgot i was wearing my iron shoes! I didnt do it on purpose!" I pleaded feeling miserable, and guilty. I really hadnt meant to kill him, he was just a boy, no matter how bad humans were they werent deserved to be killed like this, especially not a boy!
"War is war!" Snowball went on.
We all went back to the main shed, everyone recounted their victory, but i was miserable. I got Animal Hero, First Class, but my heart wasnt in it. We had won. After the celebration i went back to my stable and fell asleep to nightmare.
