He removes the control lever from the machine to stop anyone else from using the machine, and followed the creatures. The creatures have large eyes, curly hair, and thin red lips. When the Time traveller points to the sky, trying to explain where he came from, a little man made an explosion sound, thinking he came from the hailstorm. He wonders if the men are fools and is greatly disappointed. The little men begin to run around the Time Traveller and start throwing flowers at him.The creatures take the Time Traveller into one of their large buildings. It is covered in hieroglyphics. They give him a meal of strange fruit and he starts trying to learn some of their language. The little men laugh at the Time Traveller’s attempts at speech, but they soon grew weary of teaching him. The men seem foolish and indolent. He notices, on a walk, that the creatures all live in buildings together, and makes note that there are no signs of gender or old people. He thinks that he has arrived in a communist paradise, and that these creatures are a result of a world without fear and hardship. He notes that the work of his time is with the goal of making life easier, and that the result of that is frailty. The hardship is what keeps man intelligent and strong. Without danger, he believes that there is no need for family, which results in this strange way of life. But, The Time Traveller notes, this theory was very wrong.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...One of the most influential pieces of fiction of all time, The Time Machine by H. G.
