A large jug was circulating, and the mugs were being refilled with beer. No one noticed the wondering faces of the animals that gazed in at the window.
What is ironic about the pigs’ activities in this excerpt?
They fail to notice that other animals are watching them.
They had previously planted barley in order to make beer.
They changed the rules to allow drinking in a limited quantity.
