He began to talk with the humans and managed to gain power over them and monopolize the farms across England, until it all grew into one big city; the City of Animals. The City of Animals was ruled solely by Napoleon and the Fat Pigs, all of whom walk on two legs. If you are not a pig then you shall be treated as a lower being. Everyone feared nearing this area, spanning about five miles by area....you could be kidnapped or killed, be it you are animal or human. Though, on a far away farm where Snowball escaped to, he met a sow whom he became one with and bore to a son whom he named Pinoche. Sadly, Snowball's unnamed wife was taken and killed as to make goods out of her meat. Snowball raised Pinoche and told him of the terrible stories of the City of Animals, telling him to never go near the area, Pinoche grew up with dreams to eradicate Napoleon's communistic rule. When he was old enough to take care of himself, Snowball told him to go forth and complete his dreams as to kill Napoleon. Snowball's dying last words were to go and destroy this center of communism in England and to free everyone once again. Travelling day and night, Pinoche traveled to the City of Animals, eating what he could as to keep his strength. After two weeks of travelling, he finally arrived at the City of Animals. His goal was near, him being a pig, he was immediately noticed by Napoleon and gave him food to feast on, he managed to get on good terms with Napoleon and was appointed as one of his government officials, and even learned how to walk on two legs like 'proper pigs' should do. Pinoche was near his goal, but he wouldn't make things better by immediately killing Napoleon, thus he would have to work under Napoleon's nose and help the population a bit before going in for the kill. Will he succeed? (Spoiler Alert: He kills Napoleon and establishes a military dictatorship over the farm and begins to restore to order, giving the farms back to their proper owners and all that. He serves a good few years until the Fat Pigs bring up enough lies about him where he is forced to resign from power due to much of the population's ignorance. The City of Animals shows historical similarities to when the Military General, Pinoche, drove out the Communists in Chile and was then badmouthed about. The Fat Pigs represent the communist party, Napoleon represents Stalin, Snowball represents Trotsky, and Pinoche represents Pinoche himself.)
