Read the passage from Animal Farm.
"You have heard then, comrades," he said, "that we
pigs now sleep in the beds of the farmhouse? And why
not? You did not suppose, surely, that there was ever a
ruling against beds? A bed merely means a place to
sleep in. A pile of straw in a stall is a bed, properly
regarded. The rule was against sheets, which are a
human invention. We have removed the sheets from
the farmhouse beds, and sleep between blankets. And
very comfortable beds they are too! But not more
comfortable than we need, I can tell you, comrades,
with all the brainwork we have to do nowadays. You
would not rob us of our repose, would you, comrades?
You would not have us too tired to carry out our duties?
Surely none of you wishes to see Jones back?"
