😍Here, I bring an interesting story for you!!✌🏼
Having travelled about three miles, we came to a kind of building, made of timber, struck in the ground, and wattled across; the roof was low and covered with straw. I now began to be a little comforted and took out some toys, which travellers usually carry for presents to the Savage Indians of America, and others parts, in hope that the people of the house would be there by encouraged to receive me kindly. The horse made me a sign to go in first; it was a large room with a smooth clay floor, and a rack and manager, extending the whole length on one side.
There were three small horses and two adult female horses, not eating, but some of them sitting down upon their ham, which I very much gotten worried at; but wondered more to see the rest employed in domestic business. There seemed but ordinary cattle; however, this confirmed my first opinion, that a people who could do far civilize brute animals, must needs excel in wisdom all nations of the world. The grey came in just after, and thereby prevented any ill treatment which other might have given me. He neighed to them several times in a style of authority, and received answers.
Beyond this room there were three others, reaching the length of the house, to which you passed through three doors opposite to each other, in the manner of a vista, we went through the second room towards the third; here the grey walked in first, beckoning me to attend; I waited in the second room, and got ready my presents for the master and Mistress of the house: they were two knives, three bracelet of false pearl, a small looking- glass, and a bead necklace. The horse neighed three or four times, and I waited to hear some answers in a human voice, but I observed no other returns than in the same dialect, only one or two a little shriller than his. I began to think that this house must belong to some person of great note among them, because there appeared so much ceremony before I could gain admittance.
But that a man of quality should be served all by horses, was beyond my comprehension. I feared my brain was disturbed by my sufferings and misfortunes: I roused myself, and looked about me in the room where I was left alone; this was furnished like that first, only after a more elegant manner. I rubbed my eyes often, but the same objects still occured. I pinched my arms and sides, to wake myself hoping I might be in a dream. I then absolutely concluded that all these appearances could be nothin else but sorcery and magic.
But, I had no time to pursue these reflections; for the grey horse came to the door, and made a sign to follow him into third room; with a colt and foal sitting on their haunches, upon mats of straw, not unartfully made and perfectly neat and clean.
