Boxer , in particular, commits himself to Animal Farm, doing the work of three horses but never complaining.
Even though the farm possesses all of the necessary materials to build the windmill, the project presents a number of difficulties. The animals struggle over how to break the available stone into manageable sizes for building without picks and crowbars, which they are unable to use.
They finally solve the problem by learning to raise and then drop big stones into the quarry, smashing them into usable chunks. By late summer, the animals have enough broken stone to begin construction.
Although their work is strenuous, the animals suffer no more than they had under Mr. They have enough to eat and can maintain the farm grounds easily now that humans no longer come to cart off and sell the fruits of their labor.
But the farm still needs a number of items that it cannot produce on its own, such as iron, nails, and paraffin oil. As existing supplies of these items begin to run low, Napoleon announces that he has hired a human solicitor, Mr. Whymper , to assist him in conducting trade on behalf of Animal Farm. The other animals are taken aback by the idea of engaging in trade with humans, but Squealer explains that the founding principles of Animal Farm never included any prohibition against trade and the use of money.
He adds that if the animals think that they recall any such law, they have simply fallen victim to lies fabricated by the traitor Snowball. Whymper begins paying a visit to the farm every Monday, and Napoleon places orders with him for various supplies. The pigs begin living in the farmhouse, and rumor has it that they even sleep in beds, a violation of one of the Seven Commandments. They want to blame things that go wrong on the farm on someone, so Snowball is who they blame things on even though he has nothing to do with all the problems.
