In Chapter 3, Only Benjamin does not share the self-congratulatory atmosphere
of the farm. What is the significance of his cryptic remarks?
His remark was "Donkeys live a long time. None of you has ever seen a dead donkey."
So what he is saying is that they way they are living now may work through their
lifetimes, but it won't work forever. They'll never see the way it ends. Either that or he's
just saying he's old and wise, but because the book uses the word "cryptic" to describe
his remarks I think he means the first idea.
