Claiming of Land

"Napoleon sent for pots of black and white paint and
led
the way down to the five-barred gate that gave on to
the main road.
Then Snowball (for it was Snowball who was best at writing) took a brush between the two knuckles of his trotter,
painted out MANOR FARM from the top bar of the
gate and in its place painted ANIMAL FARM.
This was to be the name of the farm from now onwards."
