The transcript describes a night at Manor Farm where Mr. Jones, the owner, neglects his duties due to drunkenness. The animals gather in the barn to hear Old Major, a respected boar, share his dream and insights about the miserable life of animals under human rule. Old Major calls for a rebellion against humans, emphasizing unity among animals. He introduces the song 'Beasts of England,' which excites the animals. However, their singing wakes Mr. Jones, who disrupts the meeting.
