An extract from The Time Machine

The Time Traveller has just met the Eloi.

‘At the top of a hill, I sat down and looked at our world

Here I could see that these changes had been made The air

was free of unpleasant insects, the earth was free of weeds

Everywhere there were fruits and pleasant ﬂowers Beautiful

birds ﬂew here and there And I saw no diseases during my

stay

There had been social changes as well I saw people living in

ﬁne buildings, beautifully dressed, but I hadn’t yet found them

doing any work The shop, the advertisement, buying and

selling – all of these things which are so important to us had

all disappeared

I thought of the small size of the people and their low

intelligence People had been strong, energetic and intelligent,

and had used this energy to change their living conditions

Difﬁculties make people strong and clever and help them to

work together But where were these dangers now?’
