| Resumen |
BENJAMIN FELT A NOSE NUZZLING AT HIS SCHOULDER. HE LOOKED ROUND. IT WAS CLOVER. HER OLD EYES LOOKED DIMMER THAN EVER. WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING, SHE TUGGED GENTLY AT HIS MANE AND LED HIM ROUND TO THE END OF THE BIG BARN, WHERE THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS WERE WRITTEN. FOR A MINUTE OR TWO THEY STOOD GAZING AT THE TARRED WALL WITH ITS WHITE LETTERING.
¨MY SIGHT IS FALLING¨, SHE SAID FINALLY. ¨EVEN WHEN I WAS YOUNG I COULD NOT HAVE READ WHAT WAS WRITTEN THERE. BUT IT APPEARS TO ME THAT THAT WALL LOOKS DIFFERENT. ARE THE SEVEN COMMANMENTS THE SAME AS THEY USED TO BE, BENJAMIN?¨
FOR ONCE BENJAMIN CONSENTED TO BREAK HIS RULE, AND HE READ OUT TO HER WHAT WAS WRITTEN ON THE WALL. THERE WAS NOTHING THERE NOW EXCEPT A SINGLE COMMANDMENTS. IT RAN : ALL ANIMALS
ARE EQUAL
BUT SOME ARE
MORE EQUAL
THAN OTHERS
