My name is Lemuel / —<span class='nw'>Lemuel</span> <span class='nw'>Gulliver</span>. //

I once was a

doctor. //

I had always wanted to travel, / so I made several <span class='nw'>voyages</span>

from my country, / England, / to <span class='nw'>faraway</span> nations of the world. //

I began my first voyage with some <span class='nw'>sailors</span> / on May 4, /

1699. //

On our way to the <span class='nw'>East</span> <span class='nw'>Indies</span>, / a big storm hit us. //

The

wind shook our ship / as if the ship were a leaf in the wind. //

drove our ship on to a rock, / which broke the ship in half. //

I fell

into the water. //

When I woke up / and tried to get up, / I couldn’t

move. //

My arms, / legs, / and even my long hair / were <span class='nw'>fastened</span>

to the ground. //

Suddenly, / I heard noises around me, / and I

couldn’t believe my eyes! //

There were very, / very small human

beings, / only fifteen <span class='nw'>centimeters</span> tall! //

This was a country / called <span class='nw'>Lilliput</span>. //

After I promised to

behave well, / people began to like me / and called me “[Man-

Mountain].” //

One day / the King requested / that I join a war

against an <span class='nw'>enemy</span> country. //

I helped them / by stealing many

enemy ships. //

The King then ordered me / to help make the

enemy country part of Lilliput. //

I thought that was going too

far / and said no. //

The King got angry / and tried to blind me. //

was very surprised, / and I decided to leave the country <span class='nw'>secretly</span> /

on a boat. //

During another voyage, / my ship was attacked by <span class='nw'>pirates</span>. //

They didn’t kill me, / but they took everything / and left me alone

on a small boat / near <span class='nw'>India</span>. //

<span class='nw'>Luckily</span>, / I <span class='nw'>managed</span> to reach a

small island. //

I wanted to ask for help, / but there was no one on the

island. //

Suddenly / it became darker around me. //

When I looked

up, / I saw a large island / up in the sky, / between the sun and

me! //

A flying island! //

I was very surprised / and very afraid. //

To my great surprise, / however, / I noticed a number of people
moving around / and looking down at me / from up there. //
wanted to live, / so I shouted, / “Help! / Help!” // They <span class='nw'>lowered</span> a
chain down / and pulled me up. // This was how I was saved / by
this strange flying island / called <span class='nw'>Laputa</span>. //

The people in Laputa / spoke a different language, / so I

started to take <span class='nw'>notes</span> / of what they said. //

<span class='nw'>Strangely</span>, / they always

tried to explain things / with words from mathematics. //

Also, /

they believed / they had a special ability for music / and played

music for hours and hours / without rest. //

Soon I was so <span class='nw'>bored</span> /

that I decided to leave. //

While I was staying in a large country / called <span class='nw'>Luggnagg</span>, / I

met a <span class='nw'>trader</span> / who could take me to a far <span class='nw'>eastern</span> country / called

Japan. //

I decided to join them, / because I knew / there were a lot

of Dutch traders there / who could take me back to England. //

asked the Luggnagg King / for a <span class='nw'>personal</span> letter to the Japanese

<span class='nw'>emperor</span> / for my safety, / and he was kind enough / to write one

for me. //

The first place I landed after two weeks / was <span class='nw'>Xamoschi</span>, /

a small town in the southeast part of Japan. //

We traveled

north to the <span class='nw'>capital</span> / called Yedo / because I wanted to go to

<span class='nw'>Nangasac</span> <span class='nw'>safely</span>. //

When I was introduced / to the Emperor of Japan, / I asked /

if he would do me a favor. //

I wanted to go to Nangasac / in safety, /

so I asked him to excuse me / from a special <span class='nw'>ceremony</span> / of stepping

on a picture of <span class='nw'>Jesus</span> or Mary, / called <i>fumie</i>. //

This was done to

find <span class='nw'>Catholics</span> / because the Emperor didn’t like their <span class='nw'>religion</span>. //

Thanks to the personal letter / that I brought from Luggnagg, / I

could pass through / without doing that ceremony. //

On June 9, /

1709, / I arrived at Nangasac / and left for my country. //
