Author's Note
Jonathan Swift wrote Gulliver's Travels for grown-up readers. He gave a detailed account of the experiences of an Englishman, Lemuel Gulliver, who sailed to strange lands that no other had ever seen. From strange lands sailors take back souvenirs and strange stories which they love to give an account to boys and girls as well as to grown-ups. This story, Gulliver in Lilliput, Part I of Gulliver's Travels, is said as Gulliver might have said of the first of his experiences to boys and girls.
A Long Sea Journey and a Great Blow
I grew up in the quiet English countryside and might never have left my country, but for that my father had five sons and not much money to educate them. So, as quickly as I got to be a man, I went to work with a well-experienced expert in medical operations in London, designing to be a medical man myself. At the same time I learned all the fields useful for long sea journeys, because I had always desired to make journeys.
For three years I did sea journey to another countries and made enough money to marry, but as a young medical man I had a small number of persons to care for and came to a decision to go to sea again in order to support my woman and a boy and a girl. On May 4, 1699, I set sail from Bristol with Captain William Prichard, chief of the Antelope.
Our sea journey went very well till we got to the South Seas, by which time our sailors were ill with overwork, and bad food. Then a violent weather drove us onto a great stone which separated the ship in two. Six of us managed to lower a boat into the sea and moved the boat forward with what little power we had till a sudden blow of wind overturned us, and all the others went to their death in the sea.
I swam, pushed forward by time and current, and when I was almost put to an end, I saw land, and discovered myself in water that was not deep. At about eight o'clock in the nightfall, I got to the edge of the sea and walked for nearly half a mile without seeing any houses. Too tired to go father, I got down on my back in the grass, which was very short and soft. There I slept soundly till morning.
Captured
When I awakened, it was right after daylight. I made an attempt to get up, but was not able to move because my arms and legs were strongly fixed to the earth. So was my hair, which was long and thick. I also felt quite a number of thin cords across by body, from my arms to my legs. Unable to move my head, I was able to only look up. In time, the sun began to grow very warm, and the light gave pain to my eyes. I heard an unorderly noise about me, but was able to see only the sky.
In a little while I felt something living move on my left leg, then over my chest and almost up to my chin. Looking down as much as I was able to, I saw a little man Then, taking the sixth man in my hand, I took out my penknife as if I were going to make live food of him. But in place of that I put him not roughly on the earth and took the others, one by one out of my pocket. Away they all ran, and I was able see that the army men and the other men and women were pleased with my kind act.
