In Animal Farm, list 5 "crimes" that Napoleon and Squealer say Snowball has committed from chapters 1-7

In the early parts of the book, Snowball is a hero of the
animals' revolution.  He is, in particular, the main hero of the Battle of the Cowshed. 
But then he loses out to Napoleon in a contest to see who will rule the farm.  Napoleon
chases him off the farm and starts to blame everything that goes wrong on him.  Here are
some examples:


  • He steals the
    corn

  • He knocks over pails of
    milk

  • He breaks eggs

  • He
    tramples on the seed beds where young plants are

  • He is
    chewing the bark off of young trees.

Basically
every setback is blamed on him so that no one will blame Napoleon for
them.
