3 Boxer saw them coming and put out his great hoof, caught a dog in mid-air, and pinned him to the ground.
4 The Commandments were written on the tarred wall in great white letters that could be read thirty yards away.
5 Clover made a sort of wall round them with her great foreleg, and the ducklings nestled down inside it and promptly fell asleep.
6 For a moment there was great alarm; it was feared that the men might have harmed her in some way, or even carried her off with them.
7 But the most terrifying spectacle of all was Boxer, rearing up on his hind legs and striking out with his great iron-shod hoofs like a stallion.

15 These two had great difficulty in thinking anything out for themselves, but having once accepted the pigs as their teachers, they absorbed everything that they were told, and passed it on to the other animals by simple arguments.
16 He would trace out A, B, C, D, in the dust with his great hoof, and then would stand staring at the letters with his ears back, sometimes shaking his forelock, trying with all his might to remember what came next and never succeeding.
