Battle of the Cowshed

Entry by Snowball 

Snowball says:
Jones and his men were circling the farm, bringing us into wild excitement!
Our first attack was launched by the pigeons. They flew over the head of the men and muted all over them! Then the geese ran from their hiding place and pecked viciously at their calves.  The men beat them off with their sticks, and they advanced quite a bit. Next came Muriel, Benjamin, all the sheep, with me at the head. We ran forward, knocking them off balance. We prodded, bucked, kicked and bit!  I called the signal for retreat, and we let them enter the yard in total disorder. 
After that 3 horses, 3 cows, and the rest of the pigs surrounded them from behind. I also ran straight for Jones, biting his leg, resulting in a pellet leaving a gash in my back. 
I saw Boxer rear up, and lash at a stable boy, bringing him down in one blow. When the other men saw that they turned around and fled! 
Finally all men were gone, except the one Boxer had kicked. He lay face down in the dung, and Boxer pawed at him trying to turn him over. He didn't move!
That's when we discovered Mollie was missing. She was found hiding in her stall! How lazy! 
Later we buried the sheep who had been shot and gave medals to Boxer and Snowball.
