Three days later, old major died and we buried him near the orchard. His death made me sad, but I already had suspected it, after all, he was very old. What old Major had said inspired me, and I wondered when the Rebellion that Old Major dreamed of would take place, I think we all did.
After Old Major's death, we held secret meetings once Mr. Jones went to sleep. In one meeting, Mollie kept asking us if we would get sugar after the rebellion, and if she would be allowed to wear ribbons in her mane, and Snowball just responded “We do not need sugar. You will have all the oats and hay you want.” But her questions made me wonder why she wanted to wear ribbons, after all they resembled slavery.
All of the pigs had to oppose the lies that Moses, the raven spread. He told of a place that called Sugarcandy Mountain which animals went when they died which had Sunday seven days a week, and served delicious lumps of sugar and linseed cakes. Though his tales sounded quite pleasant, all the pigs knew it was not true and we struggled to persuade the other animals that there was not a Sugarcandy Mountain.
