Only Napoleon remained neutral. And when the occasion came, he expressed his opposition to the windmill project. One day he came suddenly to test the project. He entered the room with slow steps, looked attentively at every detail and began to sniff with disgust once and twice.

The farm was divided over the issue of the windmill. Snowball does not deny that building the windmill will be difficult. It is necessary to uproot the stones from the quarry to build the walls. Then it is necessary to fix the blades. After that, one must obtain a generator and wires (How is that? Here he remained committed to silence). And despite that, he did not stop repeating that all that requires a year. And later he declared that the economy in the labor force will enable the animals to work three days only.
