Some of the animals had noticed that the van which took Boxer away was marked "Horse Slaughterer," and had actually jumped to the conclusion that Boxer was being sent to the knacker's.
Кое-кто обратил внимание, что на фургоне, отвозившем Боксера, было написано "Скотобойня" и с неоправданной поспешностью сделал вывод, что Боксера отправляют к живодеру.
