Narrator: Great tales in Beanie History presents, “Animal Farm”. Hello, I’m Narrator. George Orwell, born Eric Blair, had one thing in mind when writing “Animal Farm”: to symbolize the Bolshevik Revolution by having the animals rebel against the humans. Reenacted by a group of Beanie Babies, a scene based on the book “Animal Farm”.

All: (singing) “Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland, beasts of every land and clime, hearken well and spread my tidings of the golden future time.” YAY!

Snowball: Perfect! Now let’s sing it about ten thousand more times!

Boxer: I’m getting sick of this song. This song is as over-sung as Avril Lavigne.

Squealer: Don’t question authority! We sing whatever we want to sing, and this is our anthem!

Snowball: Now, all animals repeat after me: “Four legs good, two legs bad!” (all repeat)

Napoleon: Our farm is going broke as we speak, and we need you, Mr. Whymper, to take care of the commissions.

Mr. Whymper: Well, I am a human being. Please, give it some time.

Napoleon: And another thing, just because my name is Napoleon doesn’t mean I’m a pastry. So don’t eat me.

Mr. Whymper: Okay, please shut up now. So, tell me, how many times has the windmill fallen down?

Napoleon: Only about ten hundred times. We’ve done as animally possible to get this windmill to stand up but everyone knocks it down. Could you do something about it?
Mr. Whymper: No.

Napoleon: But we’ve worked our butts off. We can’t go another day. (a crashing sound is heard)

Mr. Whymper: Your windmill fell down again.

Napoleon: Damn! We had seventeen payments left! (sniffs) Comrades, do you know who is responsible for this? SNOWBALL! Snowball has done this thing!

Clover: I’m getting tired of you talking like you’re black.

Squealer: What did I tell you about questioning authority?

Napoleon: In sheer malignity, thinking to set back from our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion, this traitor has…

Clover: I’m pretty sure it was an accident.

Squealer: Don’t you dare question authority!
Napoleon: Here and now I pronounce the death sentence upon Snowball! No more delays, comrades! Long live the windmill and long live Animal Farm!

Narrator: The winter was bitter, and it got bitterer when Snowball sold himself to Pinchfield Farm.

Squealer: Comrades, Snowball has sold himself to Pinchfield Farm and is plotting to attack us as we speak! Question, Mollie?
Mollie: Will there be sugar after the attack?
Napoleon: Shut up about the sugar!
Squealer: Question, Boxer?
Boxer: Do we have to sing that stupid song today? It’s so annoying I have it memorized! I can’t get it out of my head! “Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland…”
Napoleon: I hereby abolish that bloody song! I AM getting sick of it! And no one should call me Napoleon any more! You should all call me “Our Leader, Comrade Napoleon”!

Frederick: Or how about Dead Napoleon?

Napoleon: Frederick, why don’t you buy my timber and then we’ll sort this stuff out?
Frederick: Oh, good idea. Miss, can you counterfeit these bank notes?
Pilkington: Yeah, sure. Why?
Frederick: So I can trick them.

Napoleon: Okay, so are you sure you have the right amount?

Frederick: Yes. Thank you for the timber… you stupid pig.

Napoleon: Okay, now let’s inspect these bank notes… forgeries!

Mr. Whymper: Never deal with the enemy. Never deal with the enemy. I told them that ten times and they still didn’t listen to me!

Narrator: And so, after Frederick was given the death sentence, the animals attacked and won, but questioned their authority. Squealer nearly threw a temper tantrum. I’m Narrator. Join us tomorrow for a Beanie re-enacted “Moby Dick”.
