Gulliver in Lilliput by Jonathan Swift

Part 2

One day the emperor visits Gulliver. He speaks to Gulliver but Gulliver does not
understand the emperor. The emperor sends ten clever teachers. They teach Gulliver
their language. Gulliver learns very quickly. The country’s name is Lilliput. The language
is called Lilliputian. Gulliver is very happy. Now he can talk to the little people. One day
Gulliver asks the emperor a question.

‘Please, your majesty, can I go? I want to be free!’

But the emperor is not sure. ‘Is Gulliver dangerous?’ he thinks. The emperor asks some
officers to look in Gulliver’s pockets. Gulliver helps the men. The officers make a list of
the things they find.

They tell the emperor what is in Gulliver’s pockets. This strange thing is for his hair. This
machine says ‘tick tock’. This is a book. But we don’t understand the words. We don‘t
know what this is.

‘Fine. You can free Gulliver.’

Gulliver is free now. He visits the city. The children play with him in the streets. Gulliver
is very happy.

One day the emperor talks to Gulliver.

'We need your help. The people of Blefuscu want to attack Lilliput.’

'What‘s Blefuscu?’

'It‘s a country. The people of Blefuscu are bad.’

'Why do they want to attack Lilliput?’

'Because we eat our eggs like this and ...’

'Oh! And is that important?’

'… they eat their eggs like that.’

'Very important.’

'Really?’

Gulliver helps the emperor. He goes to Blefuscu and pulls its ships to Lilliput. Now
Blefuscu cannot attack Lilliput.

The emperor of Lilliput is very happy. But there are some bad men in Lilliput. They want
to kill Gulliver. ‘He is too big. He eats too much,’ say the bad men. So one day Gulliver
leaves Lilliput. He goes to Blefuscu and looks for new adventures there.
