But her sister sat still just as she left her， leaning her head on her hand， watching the setting sun， and thinking of little Alice and all her wonderful Adventures， till she too began dreaming after a fashion， and this was her dream：
First， she dreamed of little Alice herself， and once again the tiny hands were clasped upon her knee， and the bright eager eyes were looking up into hers-she could hear the very tones of her voice， and see that queer little toss of her head to keep back the wandering hair that WOULD always get into her eyes-and still as she listened， or seemed to listen， the whole place around her became alive the strange creatures of her little sister"s dream.
The long grass rustled at her feet as the White Rabbit hurried by-A the frightened Mouse splashed his way through the neighbouring pool-B she could hear the rattle of the teacups as the March Hare and his friends shared their never-ending meal， and the shrill voice of the Queen ordering off her unfortunate guests to execution-once more the pig-baby was sneezing on the Duchess"s knee， while plates and dishes crashed around it-C once more the shriek of the Gryphon， the squeaking of the Lizard"s slate-pencil， and the choking of the suppressed guinea-pigs， filled the air， mixed up with the distant sobs of the miserable Mock Turtle.
So she sat on， with closed eyes， and half believed herself in Wonderland， though she knew she had but to open them again， and all would change to dull reality-the grass would be only rustling in the wind， and the pool rippling to the waving of the reeds-the rattling teacups would change to tinkling sheep-bells， and the Queen"s shrill cries to the voice of the shepherd boy-and the sneeze of the baby， the shriek of the Gryphon and all the other queer noises would change（she knew）to the confused clamour of the busy farm-yard-while the lowing of the cattle in the distance would take the place of the Mock Turtle"s heavy sobs.

When Major saw that they had all made themselves comfortable and were waiting attentively， he cleared his throat and began：
“Comrades， you have heard already about the strange dream that I had last night. A But I will come to the dream later.I have something else to say first.B I do not think， comrades， that I shall be with you for many months longer， and before I die， I feel it my duty to pass on to you such wisdom as I have acquired.I have had a long life， I have had much time for thought as I lay alone in my stall， and I think I may say that I understand the nature of life on this earth as well as any animal now living.It is about this that I wish to speak to you.
Now， comrades， what is the nature of this life of ours？Let us face it， our lives are miserable， Laborious and short. We are born， we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies， and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength；and at the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty.No animal in England knows the meaning of happiness or leisure after he is a year old.No animal in England is free.The life of an animal is misery and slavery：that is the plain truth.
But is this simply part of the order of Nature？Is it because this land of ours is so poor that it cannot afford a decent life to those who dwell upon it？No， comrades， a thousand times no！The soil of England is fertile， its climate is good， it is capable of affording food in abundance to an enormously greater number of animals than now inhabit it. This single farm of ours would support a dozen horses， twenty cows， hundreds of sheep-and all of them living in a comfort and a dignity that are now almost beyond our imagining.Why then do we continue in this miserable condition？Because nearly the whole of the produce of our labour is stolen from us by human beings.There， comrades， is the answer to all our problems.It is summed up in a single word-Man.Man is the only real enemy we have.C Remove Man from the scene， and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever.
