Lemuel Gulliver makes his living through traveling, but during one voyage he becomes
shipwrecked and is washed to an island where he falls asleep. He awakes to tiny people all around him, speaking a language he does not know. He tries to get up but is tied down and shot at with tiny arrows that sting. He is brought to the tiny people's Emperor who is kind to him by giving as much food and water they can allow. Though, he still isn't let go.
He is then taken closer to the small village/city and is given his own space, still tied up. People are assigned to him to teach him their language, make him clothes, and check his pockets. He's making quite a spectacle for his large size compared to the normal citizen of Lilliput.

It would surely freak me out if there was a man the size of a mountain, walking around here in Boone.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I agree with you on that one. But do you think we'd give him all our food and make clothes for him? No. We'd probably nuke him :P "Ah!! Scary giant!! BOOM!"
DeleteThis story sounds a little unrealistic considering the amount cloth to make his clothes, and the amount of food and water to satify his hunger and thirst.
