The following year brings more work on the windmill and less ____ for the workers, despite Squealer's lists of figures supposedly proving that food production has ____ dramatically under Napoleon's rule. As ____ grows more powerful, he is seen in public less often. The general opinion of him is expressed in a poem by Minimus that lists his merits and virtues. More ____ occur while Napoleon schemes to sell a pile of timber to Frederick — who is alternately rumored to be a sadistic torturer of animals and the victim of unfounded gossip. After the completion of the new ____ in August, Napoleon sells the pile of timber to ____, who tries to pay with a check. Napoleon, however, demands cash, which he receives. ____ then learns that Frederick's banknotes are forgeries, and Napoleon pronounces the ____ sentence on the traitorous human. The next morning, Frederick and 14 men arrive at Animal Farm and attempt to take it by force. Although the humans are initially successful, after they blow up the windmill, the animals are completely ____ and drive the men from the farm. ____ explains to the bleeding animals that, despite what they may think, they were actually victorious in what will hereafter be called "The Battle of the Windmill." Some days later, the pigs discover a case of ____ in Jones' cellar. After drinking too much of it, Napoleon fears he is dying and decrees that the drinking of alcohol is punishable by death. Two days later, however, Napoleon feels better and orders the small paddock (which was to have been used as a retirement-home for old animals) to be ploughed and planted with barley. The chapter ends with Muriel rereading the Seven ____ and noticing, for the first time, that the Fifth Commandment now reads, "No animal shall drink ____ to excess."
