"The animals crowded round the _?__?__?_. 'Good-bye, Boxer!' they chorused, 'good-bye.'"
"'Fools! Fools!' shouted _?__?__?_, prancing round them and stamping the earth with his small hoofs. 'Fools! Do you not see what is written on the side of that van?'"
"That gave the animals pause and there was a hush. _?__?__?_ began to spell out the words. But Benjamin pushed her aside and in the midst of a deadly _?__?__?_ he read:"
"'Alfred Simmonds, _?__?__?_ Slaughterer and Glue-Boiler, Willingdon. _?__?__?_ in Hides and Bone-Meal. Kennels Supplied.' "
"'Do you not understand what that means? They are taking Boxer to the _?__?__?_!'"

"A cry of _?__?__?_ burst from all the animals. At this moment, the man on the box _?__?__?_ up his horses and the van moved out of the yard at a smart trot."
"All the animals _?__?__?_, crying out at the tops of their voices. _?__?__?_ forced her way to the front. The van began to gather speed. Clover tried to stir her stout limbs to a _?__?__?_, and achieved a canter."
"'Boxer!' she cried. 'Boxer! Boxer! Boxer!' And just at this moment, as though he had heard the uproar outside, Boxer's face with the white _?__?__?_ down his nose, appeared at the small _?__?__?_ at the back of the van."
"'Boxer!' cried Clover in a terrible voice. 'Boxer! Get out! Get out quickly! They are taking you to your _?__?__?_!'"
