In
about
ten
weeks
time
,
I
was
able
to
understand
most
of
his
questions
;
and
in
three
months
,
could
give
him
some
tolerable
answers
.
He
was
extremely
curious
to
know
"
from
what
part
of
the
country
I
came
,
and
how
I
was
taught
to
imitate
a
rational
creature
;
because
the
Yahoos
(
whom
he
saw
I
exactly
resembled
in
my
head
,
hands
,
and
face
,
that
were
only
visible
)
)
,
with
some
appearance
of
cunning
,
and
the
strongest
disposition
to
mischief
,
were
observed
to
be
the
most
unteachable
of
all
brutes
.
"
I
answered
,
"
that
I
came
over
the
sea
,
from
a
far
place
,
with
many
others
of
my
own
kind
,
in
a
great
hollow
vessel
made
of
the
bodies
of
trees
:
that
my
companions
forced
me
to
land
on
this
coast
,
and
then
left
me
to
shift
for
myself
.
"
It
was
with
some
difficulty
,
and
by
the
help
of
many
signs
,
that
I
brought
him
to
understand
me
.
He
replied
,
"
that
I
must
needs
be
mistaken
,
or
that
I
said
the
thing
which
was
not
;
"
for
they
have
no
word
in
their
language
to
express
lying
or
falsehood
.
"
He
knew
it
was
impossible
that
there
could
be
a
country
beyond
the
sea
,
or
that
a
parcel
of
brutes
could
move
a
wooden
vessel
whither
they
pleased
upon
water
.
He
was
sure
no
Houyhnhnm
alive
could
make
such
a
vessel
,
nor
would
trust
Yahoos
to
manage
it
.
"
The
word
Houyhnhnm
,
in
their
tongue
,
signifies
a
HORSE
,
and
,
in
its
etymology
,
the
PERFECTION
OF
NATURE
.
I
told
my
master
,
"
that
I
was
at
a
loss
for
expression
,
but
would
improve
as
fast
as
I
could
;
and
hoped
,
in
a
short
time
,
I
should
be
able
to
tell
him
wonders
.
"
He
was
pleased
to
direct
his
own
mare
,
his
colt
,
and
foal
,
and
the
servants
of
the
family
,
to
take
all
opportunities
of
instructing
me
;
and
every
day
,
for
two
or
three
hours
,
he
was
at
the
same
pains
himself
.
Several
horses
and
mares
of
quality
in
the
neighbourhood
came
often
to
our
house
,
upon
the
report
spread
of
"
a
wonderful
Yahoo
,
that
could
speak
like
a
Houyhnhnm
,
and
seemed
,
in
his
words
and
actions
,
to
discover
some
glimmerings
of
reason
.
"
These
delighted
to
converse
with
me
:
they
put
many
questions
,
and
received
such
answers
as
I
was
able
to
return
.
By
all
these
advantages
I
made
so
great
a
progress
,
that
,
in
five
months
from
my
arrival
I
understood
whatever
was
spoken
,
and
could
express
myself
tolerably
well
.
The
Houyhnhnms
,
who
came
to
visit
my
master
out
of
a
design
of
seeing
and
talking
with
me
,
could
hardly
believe
me
to
be
a
right
Yahoo
,
because
my
body
had
a
different
covering
from
others
of
my
kind
.
They
were
astonished
to
observe
me
without
the
usual
hair
or
skin
,
except
on
my
head
,
face
,
and
hands
;
but
I
discovered
that
secret
to
my
master
upon
an
accident
which
happened
about
a
fortnight
before
.
I
have
already
told
the
reader
,
that
every
night
,
when
the
family
were
gone
to
bed
,
it
was
my
custom
to
strip
,
and
cover
myself
with
my
clothes
.
It
happened
,
one
morning
early
,
that
my
master
sent
for
me
by
the
sorrel
nag
,
who
was
his
valet
.
When
he
came
I
was
fast
asleep
,
my
clothes
fallen
off
on
one
side
,
and
my
shirt
above
my
waist
.
I
awaked
at
the
noise
he
made
,
and
observed
him
to
deliver
his
message
in
some
disorder
;
after
which
he
went
to
my
master
,
and
in
a
great
fright
gave
him
a
very
confused
account
of
what
he
had
seen
.
This
I
presently
discovered
,
for
,
going
as
soon
as
I
was
dressed
to
pay
my
attendance
upon
his
honour
,
he
asked
me
"
the
meaning
of
what
his
servant
had
reported
,
that
I
was
not
the
same
thing
when
I
slept
,
as
I
appeared
to
be
at
other
times
;
that
his
vale
assured
him
,
some
part
of
me
was
white
,
some
yellow
,
at
least
not
so
white
,
and
some
brown
.
"
I
had
hitherto
concealed
the
secret
of
my
dress
,
in
order
to
distinguish
myself
,
as
much
as
possible
,
from
that
cursed
race
of
Yahoos
;
but
now
I
found
it
in
vain
to
do
so
any
longer
.
Besides
,
I
considered
that
my
clothes
and
shoes
would
soon
wear
out
,
which
already
were
in
a
declining
condition
,
and
must
be
supplied
by
some
contrivance
from
the
hides
of
Yahoos
,
or
other
brutes
;
whereby
the
whole
secret
would
be
known
.
I
therefore
told
my
master
,
"
that
in
the
country
whence
I
came
,
those
of
my
kind
always
covered
their
bodies
with
the
hairs
of
certain
animals
prepared
by
art
,
as
well
for
decency
as
to
avoid
the
inclemencies
of
air
,
both
hot
and
cold
;
of
which
,
as
to
my
own
person
,
I
would
give
him
immediate
conviction
,
if
he
pleased
to
command
me
:
only
desiring
his
excuse
,
if
I
did
not
expose
those
parts
that
nature
taught
us
to
conceal
.
"
He
said
,
"
my
discourse
was
all
very
strange
,
but
especially
the
last
part
;
for
he
could
not
understand
,
why
nature
should
teach
us
to
conceal
what
nature
had
given
;
that
neither
himself
nor
family
were
ashamed
of
any
parts
of
their
bodies
;
but
,
however
,
I
might
do
as
I
pleased
.
"
Whereupon
I
first
unbuttoned
my
coat
,
and
pulled
it
off
.
I
did
the
same
with
my
waistcoat
.
I
drew
off
my
shoes
,
stockings
,
and
breeches
.
I
let
my
shirt
down
to
my
waist
,
and
drew
up
the
bottom
;
fastening
it
like
a
girdle
about
my
middle
,
to
hide
my
nakedness
.
My
master
observed
the
whole
performance
with
great
signs
of
curiosity
and
admiration
.
He
took
up
all
my
clothes
in
his
pastern
,
one
piece
after
another
,
and
examined
them
diligently
;
he
then
stroked
my
body
very
gently
,
and
looked
round
me
several
times
;
after
which
,
he
said
,
it
was
plain
I
must
be
a
perfect
Yahoo
;
but
that
I
differed
very
much
from
the
rest
of
my
species
in
the
softness
,
whiteness
,
and
smoothness
of
my
skin
;
my
want
of
hair
in
several
parts
of
my
body
;
the
shape
and
shortness
of
my
claws
behind
and
before
;
and
my
affectation
of
walking
continually
on
my
two
hinder
feet
.
He
desired
to
see
no
more
;
and
gave
me
leave
to
put
on
my
clothes
again
,
for
I
was
shuddering
with
cold
.
I
expressed
my
uneasiness
at
his
giving
me
so
often
the
appellation
of
Yahoo
,
an
odious
animal
,
for
which
I
had
so
utter
a
hatred
and
contempt
:
I
begged
he
would
forbear
applying
that
word
to
me
,
and
make
the
same
order
in
his
family
and
among
his
friends
whom
he
suffered
to
see
me
.
I
requested
likewise
,
"
that
the
secret
of
my
having
a
false
covering
to
my
body
,
might
be
known
to
none
but
himself
,
at
least
as
long
as
my
present
clothing
should
last
;
for
as
to
what
the
sorrel
nag
,
his
valet
,
had
observed
,
his
honour
might
command
him
to
conceal
it
.
