Gulliver'sTravels (節(jié)選)

The next day I woke up with the sun on my face. But when I tried to get up，it was impossible because I was tied to the ground. There were lots of tiny people who were no more than 15 centimetres tall moving up my leg and walking on my body.

“What strange place is this？ Who has tied me to the ground？” I was afraid and I shouted so loudly that they all ran away. But soon they came back with bows and arrows. I knew they wanted to attack me.

“ Tolgo phonac，” one of them shouted. I had no idea about the meaning. Hundreds of tiny arrows hit my hand.They were like needles. Then they moved to attack my face. I made a sign to show them that I surrendered and the arrows finally stopped.

After lying quietly for a while， I realized that I was very very hungry. I put my fingers slowly to my mouth to show that I wanted food. The tiny people seemed to understand and they brought me lots to eat and drink，climbing up to my mouth with ladders.

I fell asleep almost at once because my food had drugs in it. After I woke up， I found myself on a vehicle and hundreds of horses were pulling me into a city where thousands of tiny people were waiting for me，including their emperor.

They cut the strings but tied my left foot with a chain to stop me escaping. Then they gave me their biggest building as my home and also offered me the best food. The emperor ordered his man to make the suitable clothes and the comfortable bed for me. Theydid their best to make me feelathome.

The people call me“man mountain\" and they came from all over the country to see me. People had to pay to see me and the money made the emperor very rich.

The emperor and his people treated me very well and helped me in many ways. ButI was still a prisoner in my building.I felt unhappy and alone. Every day I asked the emperor the same question when I could have my freedom. He always asked me to be patient.
