1 Jones saw him coming, raised his gun and fired.
2 She had taken to flight as soon as the gun went off.
3 Jones was hurled into a pile of dung and his gun flew out of his hands.
4 It was not for this that they had built the windmill and faced the bullets of Jones's gun.
5 They were all carrying sticks, except Jones, who was marching ahead with a gun in his hands.
6 And the animals heard, from the direction of the farm buildings, the solemn booming of a gun.
7 Mr. Jones's gun had been found lying in the mud, and it was known that there was a supply of cartridges in the farmhouse.
8 The hens woke up squawking with terror because they had all dreamed simultaneously of hearing a gun go off in the distance.
9 It was also announced that the gun would be fired every year on Napoleon's birthday, as well as on the other two anniversaries.
10 The skull of old Major, now clean of flesh, had been disinterred from the orchard and set up on a stump at the foot of the flagstaff, beside the gun.
11 There were songs, speeches, and more firing of the gun, and a special gift of an apple was bestowed on every animal, with two ounces of corn for each bird and three biscuits for each dog.

13 So that, what with the songs, the processions, Squealer's lists of figures, the thunder of the gun, the crowing of the cockerel, and the fluttering of the flag, they were able to forget that their bellies were empty, at least part of the time.
14 It was decided to set the gun up at the foot of the Flagstaff, like a piece of artillery, and to fire it twice a year--once on October the twelfth, the anniversary of the Battle of the Cowshed, and once on Midsummer Day, the anniversary of the Rebellion.
15 But when the animals saw the green flag flying, and heard the gun firing again--seven times it was fired in all--and heard the speech that Napoleon made, congratulating them on their conduct, it did seem to them after all that they had won a great victory.
16 They all remembered, or thought they remembered, how they had seen Snowball charging ahead of them at the Battle of the Cowshed, how he had rallied and encouraged them at every turn, and how he had not paused for an instant even when the pellets from Jones's gun had wounded his back.
17 And when they heard the gun booming and saw the green flag fluttering at the masthead, their hearts swelled with imperishable pride, and the talk turned always towards the old heroic days, the expulsion of Jones, the writing of the Seven Commandments, the great battles in which the human invaders had been defeated.
