Description: On an especially warm day, Gulliver decided to bathe in the river while on a walk with the Sorrel Nag who was Gulliver’s protector. While Gulliver bathed the nag grazed nearby. A female yahoo watched Gulliver bathe and jumped into the water and embraced him from behind, scaring Gulliver. The nag returned and scared the yahoo away from Gulliver.
