Description
-
Here Gulliver tries to communicate with the Houyhnhnms. He initially thought the Houyhnhnms were conjurers or some other type of magical creatures. If they were magic, then Gulliver thought they might be able to speak another language and tried to speak to them in every language he knew, however he was unsuccessful in his attempt to speak with them. He eventually simply copied their language and began to learn it.
