"Now, comrades, look at ourselves: our lives are miserable, laborious, and short. We ara born, we receive just enough to keep alive, and we are forced to work to the last atom of our strength. The life of an animal is misery and slavery - that is the plain truth.
"Why are we un this miserable condition? Because human beings steal nearly all products of our labor. That, comrades, is the cause of our problems: man. Man is the only real enemy we have.
"Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plow by himself. He cannot run fast enought to catch rabbits. Yet, he is the lord of all animals. He puts other animals to work, and gives back to them the bare minimum to prevent starvation. The rest, he keeps for him self.
"For myself, I do not grumble. I am 12 years old. I will soon die. But I warn you: whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend..."
Adapted from Animal Farm, by George Orwell.
