... [Show More] Farm.
But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, set up a loud lowing. They
had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the
pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters being well adapted to this task.
Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with
considerable interest.
"What is going to happen to all that milk?" said someone.
"Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our mash," said one of the hens.
"Never mind the milk, comrades!" cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. "That will be
attended to. The harvest is more important. Comrade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few
minutes. Forward, comrades! The hay is waiting."
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening
it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.

What is Orwell's main purpose in this passage?
Read the passage from Animal Farm.
Once again it was being put about that all the animals were dying of famine and disease, and that they
were continually fighting among themselves and had resorted to cannibalism and infanticide. Napoleon was
well aware of the bad results that might follow if the real facts of the food situation were known, and he
decided to make use of Mr. Whymper to spread a contrary impression. Hitherto the animals had had little or
no contact with Whymper on his weekly visits: now, however, a few selected animals, mostly sheep, were
instructed to remark casually in his hearing that rations had been increased. In addition, Napoleon ordered
the almost empty bins in the store-shed to be filled nearly to the brim with sand, which was then covered up
with what remained of the grain and meal. On some suitable pretext Whymper was led through the storeshed and allowed to catch a glimpse of the bins. He was deceived, and continued to report to the outside
world that there was no food shortage on Animal Farm.
