Check:
- They are trying to trick the less-intelligent animals.
- They want to justify why they are now sleeping in beds.
- The pigs feel entitled to privileges that the other animals do not have.

Why: The pigs alter the wording of the commandment to rationalize their own behavior and to deceive the other animals (Squealer explains the change and persuades them). The tweak lets the pigs sleep in beds while technically preserving a commandment, reflecting their growing sense of entitlement.

Do not check:
- They think that sheets are not as comfortable as blankets. (Not supported by the text.)
- The pigs want the other animals to stop sleeping in beds with sheets. (The change serves to permit pig behavior, not to prohibit other animals specifically from beds with sheets.)
