To have a better vision of the palace of the Emperor of Lilliput, Gulliver lies on his side.
However, Gulliver had to do many other things before doing this. He cut a few large trees in the park using his knife and made two three-feet high stools that could withstand his weight. He then went to the side of the outer court of the palace and stood on one stool. Gulliver then placed the other stool on the roof in the space between the first and second courts. He then got on to this stool and lifted the first stool using a hooked stick. The stick also helped him gain entry into the innermost court. Then he lay on his side facing the open windows. Lying down in this position, Gulliver could see the beautiful apartments of the place.
