Week One:
Extra Hot extract:
.[AO2] Look in detail at this extract from lines 6 to 16 of the source:
However, Benjamin and Clover could only be with Boxer after working hours, and it was in the middle of the day when the
van came to take him away. The animals were all at work weeding turnips under the supervision of a pig, when they were
astonished to see Benjamin come galloping from the direction of the farm buildings, braying2 at the top of his voice. It was
the first time that they had ever seen Benjamin excited--indeed, it was the first time that anyone had ever seen him gallop.
"Quick, quick!" he shouted. "Come at once! They're taking Boxer away!" Without waiting for orders from the pigs, the
animals broke off work and raced back to the farm buildings. Sure enough, there in the yardwas a large closed van, drawn
by two horses, with lettering on its side and a sly-looking man in a low-crowned bowler hat sitting on the driver's seat.
And Boxer's stall was empty.
