Summary and Alternate Title: Old Major’s Dream
Old Major had a dream that he wanted to share with the animals on the farm. One night, after the drunken Mr. Jones went to sleep, all the animals met in the barn. Old Major described their lives as being “miserable, laborious and short.” He blamed these conditions on man and he suggested that their lives would improve greatly if they rid themselves of man. He taught the animals the song he remembered from his youth. The song was about a world without humans and animals living a life of freedom, #|peace and plenty. After a few minutes, all the animals broke into song. This disturbed Mr. Jones who awakened and fired a shot gun to silence them. The congress broke up, and all the animals quickly went to sleep.
