One day Napoleon said during his speech that every animal that had something to confess should step forward. The dogs of Napoleon’s bodyguard slaughtered all those animals and the animals that were not slaughtered became afraid of Napoleon. Squealer was sent out again to convince the animals that Napoleon was doing the right thing and that the slaughter had to happen. The animals believed him, but some had a feeling something was not completely right. Boxer just worked harder and harder, but he was also getting older and older. Clover told him to calm down, but Boxer did not listen to her.
