The animals on the farm spent a great amount of time building a windmill that would help out the farm by providing power. After the windmill that all the animals worked so hard on had been destroyed by a storm, the incident was blamed on Snowball. While all the animals were gathered around the fallen windmill, Napoleon explains, “Snowball has done this thing! In sheer malignity, thinking to set back our plans and avenge himself for his ignominious expulsion, this traitor has crept here under the cover of night and destroyed our work of nearly a year” (82). Seeking to gain more support from the animals, Napoleon lies to them and instead of admitting that the windmill had been taken down by the storm, he claims that Snowball was responsible. Napoleon attracts more animals to his way of thinking and hatred towards Snowball by saying that all their hard work was ruined by him. This manipulation is a way for Napoleon to gain more power and trust from the people he wrongly
