All
this
my
master
very
graciously
consented
to
;
and
thus
the
secret
was
kept
till
my
clothes
began
to
wear
out
,
which
I
was
forced
to
supply
by
several
contrivances
that
shall
hereafter
be
mentioned
.
In
the
meantime
,
he
desired
"
I
would
go
on
with
my
utmost
diligence
to
learn
their
language
,
because
he
was
more
astonished
at
my
capacity
for
speech
and
reason
,
than
at
the
figure
of
my
body
,
whether
it
were
covered
or
not
;
"
adding
,
"
that
he
waited
with
some
impatience
to
hear
the
wonders
which
I
promised
to
tell
him
.
"
Thenceforward
he
doubled
the
pains
he
had
been
at
to
instruct
me
:
he
brought
me
into
all
company
,
and
made
them
treat
me
with
civility
;
"
because
,
"
as
he
told
them
,
privately
,
"
this
would
put
me
into
good
humour
,
and
make
me
more
diverting
.
"
Every
day
,
when
I
waited
on
him
,
beside
the
trouble
he
was
at
in
teaching
,
he
would
ask
me
several
questions
concerning
myself
,
which
I
answered
as
well
as
I
could
,
and
by
these
means
he
had
already
received
some
general
ideas
,
though
very
imperfect
.
It
would
be
tedious
to
relate
the
several
steps
by
which
I
advanced
to
a
more
regular
conversation
;
but
the
first
account
I
gave
of
myself
in
any
order
and
length
was
to
this
purpose
:
"
That
I
came
from
a
very
far
country
,
as
I
already
had
attempted
to
tell
him
,
with
about
fifty
more
of
my
own
species
;
that
we
travelled
upon
the
seas
in
a
great
hollow
vessel
made
of
wood
,
and
larger
than
his
honour
's
house
.
I
described
the
ship
to
him
in
the
best
terms
I
could
,
and
explained
,
by
the
help
of
my
handkerchief
displayed
,
how
it
was
driven
forward
by
the
wind
.
That
upon
a
quarrel
among
us
,
I
was
set
on
shore
on
this
coast
,
where
I
walked
forward
,
without
knowing
whither
,
till
he
delivered
me
from
the
persecution
of
those
execrable
Yahoos
.
"
He
asked
me
,
"
who
made
the
ship
,
and
how
it
was
possible
that
the
Houyhnhnms
of
my
country
would
leave
it
to
the
management
of
brutes
?
"
My
answer
was
,
"
that
I
durst
proceed
no
further
in
my
relation
,
unless
he
would
give
me
his
word
and
honour
that
he
would
not
be
offended
,
and
then
I
would
tell
him
the
wonders
I
had
so
often
promised
.
"
He
agreed
;
and
I
went
on
by
assuring
him
,
that
the
ship
was
made
by
creatures
like
myself
;
who
,
in
all
the
countries
I
had
travelled
,
as
well
as
in
my
own
,
were
the
only
governing
rational
animals
;
and
that
upon
my
arrival
hither
,
I
was
as
much
astonished
to
see
the
Houyhnhnms
act
like
rational
beings
,
as
he
,
or
his
friends
,
could
be
,
in
finding
some
marks
of
reason
in
a
creature
he
was
pleased
to
call
a
Yahoo
;
to
which
I
owned
my
resemblance
in
every
part
,
but
could
not
account
for
their
degenerate
and
brutal
nature
.
I
said
farther
,
"
that
if
good
fortune
ever
restored
me
to
my
native
country
,
to
relate
my
travels
hither
,
as
I
resolved
to
do
,
everybody
would
believe
,
that
I
said
the
thing
that
was
not
,
that
I
invented
the
story
out
of
my
own
head
;
and
(
(
with
all
possible
respect
to
himself
,
his
family
,
and
friends
,
and
under
his
promise
of
not
being
offended
)
)
our
countrymen
would
hardly
think
it
probable
that
a
Houyhnhnm
should
be
the
presiding
creature
of
a
nation
,
and
a
Yahoo
the
brute
.
"
My
master
heard
me
with
great
appearances
of
uneasiness
in
his
countenance
;
because
doubting
,
or
not
believing
,
are
so
little
known
in
this
country
,
that
the
inhabitants
can
not
tell
how
to
behave
themselves
under
such
circumstances
.
And
I
remember
,
in
frequent
discourses
with
my
master
concerning
the
nature
of
manhood
in
other
parts
of
the
world
,
having
occasion
to
talk
of
lying
and
false
representation
,
it
was
with
much
difficulty
that
he
comprehended
what
I
meant
,
although
he
had
otherwise
a
most
acute
judgment
.
For
he
argued
thus
:
"
that
the
use
of
speech
was
to
make
us
understand
one
another
,
and
to
receive
information
of
facts
;
now
,
if
any
one
said
the
thing
which
was
not
,
these
ends
were
defeated
,
because
I
can
not
properly
be
said
to
understand
him
;
and
I
am
so
far
from
receiving
information
,
that
he
leaves
me
worse
than
in
ignorance
;
for
I
am
led
to
believe
a
thing
black
,
when
it
is
white
,
and
short
,
when
it
is
long
.
"
And
these
were
all
the
notions
he
had
concerning
that
faculty
of
lying
,
so
perfectly
well
understood
,
and
so
universally
practised
,
among
human
creatures
.
To
return
from
this
digression
.
When
I
asserted
that
the
Yahoos
were
the
only
governing
animals
in
my
country
,
which
my
master
said
was
altogether
past
his
conception
,
he
desired
to
know
,
"
whether
we
had
Houyhnhnms
among
us
,
and
what
was
their
employment
?
"
I
told
him
,
"
we
had
great
numbers
;
that
in
summer
they
grazed
in
the
fields
,
and
in
winter
were
kept
in
houses
with
hay
and
oats
,
where
Yahoo
servants
were
employed
to
rub
their
skins
smooth
,
comb
their
manes
,
pick
their
feet
,
serve
them
with
food
,
and
make
their
beds
.
"
"
I
understand
you
well
,
"
said
my
master
:
"
it
is
now
very
plain
,
from
all
you
have
spoken
,
that
whatever
share
of
reason
the
Yahoos
pretend
to
,
the
Houyhnhnms
are
your
masters
;
I
heartily
wish
our
Yahoos
would
be
so
tractable
.
"
I
begged
"
his
honour
would
please
to
excuse
me
from
proceeding
any
further
,
because
I
was
very
certain
that
the
account
he
expected
from
me
would
be
highly
displeasing
.
"
But
he
insisted
in
commanding
me
to
let
him
know
the
best
and
the
worst
.
I
told
him
"
he
should
be
obeyed
.
"
I
owned
"
that
the
Houyhnhnms
among
us
,
whom
we
called
horses
,
were
the
most
generous
and
comely
animals
we
had
;
that
they
excelled
in
strength
and
swiftness
;
and
when
they
belonged
to
persons
of
quality
,
were
employed
in
travelling
,
racing
,
or
drawing
chariots
;
they
were
treated
with
much
kindness
and
care
,
till
they
fell
into
diseases
,
or
became
foundered
in
the
feet
;
but
then
they
were
sold
,
and
used
to
all
kind
of
drudgery
till
they
died
;
after
which
their
skins
were
stripped
,
and
sold
for
what
they
were
worth
,
and
their
bodies
left
to
be
devoured
by
dogs
and
birds
of
prey
.
But
the
common
race
of
horses
had
not
so
good
fortune
,
being
kept
by
farmers
and
carriers
,
and
other
mean
people
,
who
put
them
to
greater
labour
,
and
fed
them
worse
.
"
I
described
,
as
well
as
I
could
,
our
way
of
riding
;
the
shape
and
use
of
a
bridle
,
a
saddle
,
a
spur
,
and
a
whip
;
of
harness
and
wheels
.
I
added
,
"
that
we
fastened
plates
of
a
certain
hard
substance
,
called
iron
,
at
the
bottom
of
their
feet
,
to
preserve
their
hoofs
from
being
broken
by
the
stony
ways
,
on
which
we
often
travelled
.
