“At the foot of the end wall of the big barn, where the seven Commandments were written, there lay a ladder broken in two pieces. Squealer, temporarily stunned, was falling beside it, and near at the hand there lay a lantern, a paint brush, and an overturned pot of white paint." The book then later states, “They had thought the Fifth Commandment was ‘No animal shall drink alcohol,’ but there were two words they had forgotten. Actually the commandant read: ‘No animal shall drink alcohol to excess.’" They changed the rules and had evidence of them lying to the animals right there. Napoleon ordered for this to happen to help himself.
