I was on the sea for many days. I wanted to go to India, but I could not find that country. I was nearly dead when I saw a ship.
The Yahoos on the ship were good men. But I felt ill when I looked at them. I wanted to jump into the sea.
'I cannot live with Yahoos!' I cried.
But a man stopped me and tied me to my bed.
They spoke to me in the Portuguese language. I know this language well and I could understand them. This was very strange for me.
After two or three days, I began to feel better and I told them about the Yahoos.
'This cannot be true!' they cried.
I was angry. After my time in the country of the Houyhnhms, I could only speak true words. But they listened to my story again. They thought carefully about it and said, 'This is possible!'
I traveled on this ship to Lisbon. There I found a ship for England.
It was very difficult for me. I had to learn to live with men again. In many ways, they are not different from Yahoos.
'But I don't want to live with Yahoos!' I cried. 'I want to live with good, kind Houyhnhnms. I hate dirty Yahoos! And I hate bad Yahoos!'
My people make me angry when they are unkind to horses. I bought two horses. I understand them well and they understand me. I talk to them every day. They are good friends. I can never forget the wonderful Houyhnhnms.
