Gulliver’s Travels
Gulliver always wanted to travel and he studied navigation. After four years of hard learning Gulliver began to work on a ship. One day there was a great storm. The ship broke to pieces. Gulliver and five other men got into a boat. But the boat was small and soon turned over. Gulliver could swim very well and he swam to the shore. His com panions couldn’t swim and were drowned. Gulliver found himself in a country where very small people lived. The name of the country was Lilliput. The little people were afraid of Gulliver. They called him the Man-Mountain. Soon they saw that Gulliver was kind and didn’t want to harm them. They liked him very much. Gulliver lived there for two years and then came back to England. Gulliver’s second travel began very well. However, after some time at sea, a strong wind began to blow and they fought it for twenty days. When the wind stopped, the captain of the ship did not know where they were. They had enough food, the ship was strong, but there was no drinking water. Soon they saw an island and the captain sent some men in a small boat to get water from there. Gulliver was in the boat too. On the island Gulliver did not go with the sailors. When he came back to the place where he thought the boat was, he saw that the sailors were in the boat on the way to the ship. Gulliver looked around and saw some giants. He understood that it was a country of giants.
