GULLIVER’S
TRAVELS
One stormy night
at sea, a ship was wrecked. All the passengers on board drowned, except Lemuel
Gulliver. Gulliver was a excellent swimmer and swam for many miles before he
reached shore. Gulliver was very tired and decided to sleep. He would look for food
after he had had sufficient rest.
Gulliver slept for a whole day. When he woke up,
the Sun was beating down upon him. He tried to move, he could not. His hair,
hands, legs and body were tied to the ground. He saw little men running all
around him. Someone had got a tiny ladder and was climbing up to him. The
little man, no bigger than Gulliver's thumb nail, came up to him ears and said,
"You are in the land of Lilliput; we are Lilliputians. We are taking you
to our Emperor, so please do not make any trouble. You will be shot at."
Gulliver almost laughed at this threat but nodded.
A huge wooden structure with wheels was brought. Gulliver was slid on to it after much struggle. The wooden
structure was pulled through the streets of Lilliput with all the Lilliputians
lining up the streets.
It was a carnival atmosphere which the Lilliputians seemed to be enjoying
themselves, much to the amusement of Gulliver.
Finally, they arrived at the Emperor's palace. The Emperor was there to receive
Gulliver, "You are indeed a strange sight. If you are to stay here you
will have to be of service to my people here," he said pointing to the
crowd. Gulliver said, "I agree to any condition but only if you untie
me."
Gulliver was freed. He was provided with food and water, a house was built for
him. It was a monumental effort by the Lilliputians, who were all out to serve
Gulliver. Gulliver stayed with the Lilliputians, helping them with many small
tasks.
It so happened, that the neighboring kingdom of Bleuse were not on very
friendly relationship with Lilliput. The King of Bleuse declared war on
Lilliput. He took a hundred ships to mount an attack.
The Lilliputians ran to Gulliver for help. The Emperor said, "Don't let us
down now Gulliver; we need your help." Gulliver walked into the sea. He
took long rope, tied all the hundred ships together and dragged them in the
water. Gulliver pulled the ships the whole day, until the army of Bleuse was
giddy and in no position to fight.
The King of Bleuse came begging for peace between the two kingdoms. The Emperor
agreed. Gulliver was hailed as the hero and lived in Lilliput for many years.
