.... he was the good guy (or pig in this case) until the time that the animals supposedly found secret documents that said that Snowball was incohutes with Jones. Snowball also spread a lot of lies around about Napoleon. Events in Summary: What happened first: The first thing that happened in my book Animal Farm was that the animals over took the Manor Farm. The "revolution," as they called it, was achieved with great ease. Jones had gotten so drunk at a bar that he did not get home until noon and then went to sleep until late that evening. The animal had gone unfed that whole day. Then one of the cows could not stand it any more and broke the door to the store-sh ....
