The

island?

little
cakes

and
cooked
it,
or
picked
leaves
of
plants
to
eat
with
my
bread.
5. Why
did
Gulliver
have
to

to
his
Houy
master
what
‘lying’
meant?
Because
in
their
language
there
is
no
word
which
means
telling
lies,
and
then
the
Houy
didn’t
understand
why
does
anyone
tell
a
lie.
6. What
did
Gulliver’s
Houy
master
think
about
money?
That
it
is
strange,
because
they
share
everything
there.

there,
there
are
sensible,
gentle
creatures,

never
lied
or
stole,
in
a
country
which
had
no
desease,
no
crime,
no
wars.
8. Why
did
the
Houys
ask
Gulliver
to
leave
their
country?

can’t
stay
here
because

isn’t
neither
one
of
them,
nor
a
Yahoo
9. How
did
Gulliver
feel
about
his
family
when
he
got
home?
They
looked
and
smel
like
Yahoos
too,
and
he
told
them
to
keep
away
from
him.
10. What
did
Gulliver
realize
five
years
later?
He
write
his
stories
of
his
life
with
the
Houys
but
the
people
accuse
him
of
lying
in
the
book,
so
Gulliver
accept
that
the
human
says
lies
forever
and
the
that
the
humans
are
all
Yahoos.
