The Battle of the Cowshed

Dear Journal,
     Mr. Jones has attempted to reclaim his farm with some of Pilkington’s and Frederick’s men, just a while ago, in early October. Their defeat is almost embarrassing. Apparently, a pig named Snowball who acts as the animals’ leader, studied battle tactics from old Roman campaign books and was able to lead them to victory with an ambush right around a cowshed. According to one of Jones’s men, a huge horse named Boxer charged at him and knocked him out with a strong iron shoe. He was only able to escape when the animals left to bury one of their fallen comrades, a sheep. The animals discovered Jones’s gun and left it at the base of the flagpole, as a reminder of October 12th, their victory at what they call the “Battle of the Cowshed.”
