Once, while he was on a ship called the Antelope, a terrible storm arose. The ship hit the rocks. Being a good swimmer, Gulliver reached the shore safely. Overwhelmed by fatigue, he lay down on the sand and immediately fell asleep. When he woke up, he was bound and pinned to the ground, unable to move his head, hands or feet. Then, he saw that a lot of little men were walking around on his body, none taller than a palm. <br \/>Arriving in great haste, the king of that land ordered the little men to bring food and raise a platform to reach the giant&#8217;s mouth. When the food arrived, carried in several carts, it turned out that a basket full of bread and another full of pieces of meat were barely enough for the giant Gulliver on one table! But, after several transports, the little men managed to satiate him.<br \/>One night, while Gulliver was sleeping, several little men took him to their city, carrying him on a huge chariot. Once they arrived, the little men left Gulliver next to a huge building, which would later serve as his home. Although it was huge for the little men, the building proved to be too small for Gulliver, who had to crawl inside on his legs, let alone get up on his knees.<br \/>The king&#8217;s blacksmith was then ordered to make a strong chain, with which to fasten Gulliver, and the wise men of the kingdom taught him to speak their language, which helped Gulliver to get along with them. Behaving as he should, Gulliver soon made a lot of friends among the little men.<br \/>However, he was very homesick&#8230; Spotting one day a boat floating on the sea, he swam to it and pulled it to the shore. The king allowed Gulliver to repair it and leave Lilliput, as that land of little men was called. When he was ready to go, the little men had brought Gulliver food and water for the journey, but also some gold and precious stones, to take to his country.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-54d880d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"54d880d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><em>Retelling of the original story<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back Gulliver\u2019s Travels Before entering the fantastic world of Gulliver you need to know a few things about its creator: Jonathan Swift.
