Chapter 11
Years went by, by the time that Ming was old, all the baby and young animals were now adults, still faithful to Ming. Then one day Ming died of old age, and all the adult animals mourned his death and he was buried in the big barn in which he gave a speech to them about destroying all the Infidels and old farm traditions. They made it into a shrine. But once Ming was gone, they had no god anymore. They then decided to arrest Ping Pong, for in Ming's will it didn't say anything about sparing her life or the life of her gang. They were put on trial. When Ping Pong went up to defend herself, she said this, "I was Ming's dog, whenever he told me to bite, I bit!" all the animals laughed at her, not believing that it was Ming who wanted their parents dead. All the animals blamed their parent's death on the wrong pig, she was just helping Ming carry out his plan. The next day, Ping Pong killed herself by drowning in a river.
More years went by, and the Top Animalists, who replaced the Old Top Animalists as babies, were still in the Top Animalists party. They kept the myth of Ming Dong alive so that future generations of Linga Farm would follow everything that he said and done. "The Abolishment of Old Traditions." was such an embarrising and tragic piece of Linga Farm's history that nobody dared to ever bring it up again. The other baby and young animals who were now adults kept the traditions of Ming Dong alive, and told stories of his adventures. They told these stories to their children and then their children told these stories to their children, and so on forth. They say that to this very day that if you go by Linga Farm you can still see a huge portrait of Ming Dong hanging on the big barn. His body is still in the barn as well. Once in a while you'll see portraits of Old Major and Napoleon as well. The adult animals will tell you how he was a good leader and how he helped kept Linga farm alive, and how he was a great god to them all. It was all a beautiful illusion.
