   You can find the answer to your question in chapter 7. When the windmill collapses, Napoleon immediately blames Snowball, claiming that footprints leading to a hole in the hedge were undoubtedly his. The humans, however, don't believe in Snowball's guilt. According to the narrator, "Out of spite, the human beings pretended not to believe that it was
   Snowball who had destroyed the windmill." They give an alternative reason for the collapse, but you're going to have to find that cause for yourself in chapter 7. Even though the animals are convinced that the humans can't be right, they decide to rebuild the windmills walls almost twice as thick as they had been.

   I've pasted a link to an online text of the book so that you can easily find the answer. Hint: Look at the second paragraph.
