Gulliver's Travels

It was impossible for me to

climb because every step was

six feet high.

I was trying to find a gap in the

hedge when I discovered one

of the inhabitants in the next

field walking towards the fence.

Gulliver's Travels

He was of the same size as the

creature chasing the boat.

I was struck with utmost fear

and astonishment and ran to

hide myself.

He called in a voice much

louder than a trumpet. It

sounded like thunder!

Gulliver's Travels

Seven monsters like him came

towards the field ready to reap

the corn.

They carried a reaping hook

which was very big.

When one of the reapers

approached where I lay hidden

I screamed as loud as I could.

Gulliver's Travels

The creature stopped reaping,

picked me up between his

thumb and forefinger and

brought me close to his eyes,

sixty feet above the ground.

He looked at me with

curiosity and blew my hair

aside to get a better view of

my face.
