Description: One reason the Houyhnhnms thought Gulliver was different from the Yahoos was because of his clothes. They thought they were a kind of skin. One morning Gulliver’s master discovered that Gulliver did not sleep in his clothes and became suspicious. He examined all of Gulliver’s clothes and ultimately agreed to keep it a secret.
