Dear Journal,
A fearsome storm has toppled the windmill on Animal Farm! Months of heavy labor have gone down the drain... The horrific weather scattered the blocks of limestone and uprooted nearby trees and roof tiles, leaving the colossal effort in ruins. Napoleon insists that the windmill has been sabotaged by Snowball in an attempt to crush Animal Farm. My guess, however, is that the windmill fell because the walls were too thin, and I have advised him as such when he set plans to re-construct the edifice.

Presently, the quarry is full of winddrifts so work is stalled. Emboldened by the collapse of the windmill, townspeople are spreading rumors that the animals are dying of famine and disease, resulting in cannibalism and infanticide. However, I know this to be of the contrary. While taking a round in the store-shed, I noticed bins full to the brim with grain and meal. On my visits, I even overheard a few sheep mentioning that food rations had not been cut back but rather increased! Of course, I shall continue to report to the outside world that there is no food shortage on Animal Farm at all. In fact, it is making a swift recovery from the storm.

That is a lie! Animal Farm is in dearth, not plenty. The barrels of food are nothing but bins full of sand topped with what remains of the rations. Napoleon knows that if the real food situation were known, bad results might follow... It is no longer a free comradeship of animals but a tyranny!
