[Gulliver shows his knife to the Houyhnhnms]
-
Description
-
Here Gulliver explains his situation to two Houyhnhnms. He asks them for shelter, and in return he says he will make them a present in return for the favour using his knife. The Houyhnhnms spoke between themselves and agreed to help Gulliver. During their conversation Gulliver heard the two saying the word yahoo, so Gulliver repeated the word back to them. The Houyhnhnms looked surprised, then proceeded to teach Gulliver the correct pronunciation of the word. The Houyhnhnms then took in Gulliver and taught him the language. The same image appears in the 1839 Krabbe edition.
