(Late at night, some animals are talking about Mr. Jones, the owner of the farm.)
Ida the Cow: Mr. Jones is mean to us. He makes us work day and night and seldom lets us take a break. Horses, how many hours a day do you work?
Rio the Horse: Over ten hours. We work hard, but Mr. Jones doesn't treat us well. He never shares fruit with us. We are thin and weak.
Ida the Cow: Hens, what about you?
Pox the Hen: We work the hardest and produce lots of eggs, but Mr. Jones is bad to us. Our house is small and dirty, and we live a hard life.
Ida the Cow: Yes, my poor friends. Mr. Jones treats us badly. We can live better without him. Let's take him down!
Everyone: Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ida the Cow: Rio, you run the most quickly of all. Go tell everybody.
Rio the Horse: All right.
Eddie the Pig: Wait. Everyone, please listen to me. Why don't we fight for our rights in a different way?
Ida the Cow: How?
Eddie the Pig: The law protects everyone, so we can report Mr. Jones to the Labor Department. They'll have him improve our lives.
Ida the Cow: We'll need a lawyer, but we don't have money for that.
Eddie the Pig: Have a look at this lawyer's web page. She provides free services.
Ida the Cow: Really? Pox, could you help me check out this information? I can't see clearly.
Pox the Hen: No problem. Well, the information is true.
Ida the Cow: Good. Everyone, let's try Eddie's idea, OK?
Everyone: Sure! That's a wise thing to do.
（深夜，一些動物在談論農場的主人瓊斯先生。）
艾達牛：瓊斯先生對我們很壞。他要我們日夜工作，且很少讓我們休息。馬兒們，你們一天工作幾小時？
瑞歐馬：超過十小時。我們努力工作，但是瓊斯先生並沒有善待我們。他從不分享水果給我們吃。我們又瘦又虛弱。
艾達牛：母雞，那麼你們呢？
帕克絲雞：我們工作最勤奮，生產了大量的蛋，但是瓊斯先生對我們很惡劣。我們的屋子又小又髒，而且我們的生活很艱苦。
艾達牛：是的，我可憐的朋友們。瓊斯先生對我們很壞。沒有他，我們可以活得更好。我們讓他下臺吧!
大家：抗爭!抗爭!抗爭!抗爭!
艾達牛：瑞歐，你是所有人之中跑得最快的。去告訴大家吧。
瑞歐馬：好的。
艾迪豬：等等。各位請聽我說。我們何不用另一種不同的方式來爭取我們的權利呢？
艾達牛：怎麼做？
艾迪豬：法律保護每一個人，所以我們可以向勞動部檢舉瓊斯先生。他們會要求他改善我們的生活。
艾達牛：我們會需要律師，但是我們沒錢請律師。
艾迪豬：看看這位律師的網頁。她提供免費的服務。
艾達牛：真的嗎？帕克絲，你可以幫我查證一下這項資訊嗎？我看不清楚。
帕克絲雞：沒問題。嗯，這資訊是真的。
艾達牛：很好。各位，我們來試試看艾迪的點子吧，好嗎？
大家：當然!那是個明智的做法。
