English book Animal Farm （195）tells a story about farm animals．They are fed up with （受够了） Mr Jones，the farmer．He treats them badly，so they decide to kick him off the farm and run the farm themselves．
One day an old pig called Old Major gathers the animals around him．He tells them that all animals should stand together．He says they should take over the farm．They say that all animals are equal．
After they get rid of （摆脱） Mr Jones，two pigs bee the leaders of Animal Farm．One pig called Snowball is a great speaker．He has big ideas for Animal Farm．The other leader is a pig called Napoleon．Napoleon is a crafty （狡猾的） animal．He brings together supporters by offering them advantages．
Napoleon makes a war against Snowball and kicks him away from the farm．He turns Snowball into a big enemy．He says that Snowball is working with Farmer Jones and other farmers to do harm to Animal Farm．
But as it turns out it is Napoleon who is working with the enemies of the animals．He joins up with the old human enemies of the animals．But he tells the animals that he is working for them．At the same time the animals work hard．It seems that it is as bad to live under Napoleon as it was under Farmer Jones!
