00:00:12,067 --> 00:00:19,841
"Glumdalclitch and Grildig," the king said one day, "we are going to a town near the south coast."

2
00:00:19,842 --> 00:00:22,843
"That's wonderful," I replied.

3
00:00:22,844 --> 00:00:25,078
"I'd like to see the sea again."

4
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,071
We reached the town a few days later.

5
00:00:28,072 --> 00:00:31,084
The next morning Glumdalclitch said to me,

6
00:00:31,085 --> 00:00:33,686
"I'm not feeling well.

7
00:00:33,687 --> 00:00:38,033
One of the queen's servants will look after you today."

8
00:00:38,034 --> 00:00:40,892
I asked the servant to take me to the sea.

9
00:00:40,893 --> 00:00:45,709
He carried me in my traveling box to a cliff above the shore.

10
00:00:45,710 --> 00:00:47,880
"I'll be back in half an hour,"

11
00:00:47,881 --> 00:00:50,860
he said, and went to look for birds' eggs.

12
00:00:50,861 --> 00:00:55,896
The day was warm and I fell asleep in my box, listening to the waves.

13
00:00:55,897 --> 00:01:01,133
I woke up because my box was moving and I was being thrown around inside it.

14
00:01:01,134 --> 00:01:03,572
I was very afraid.

15
00:01:03,573 --> 00:01:10,933
I could feel the box rising high up into the air, but I could not understand why that was happening.

16
00:01:10,934 --> 00:01:14,241
Soon the land and sea were far below me.

17
00:01:14,242 --> 00:01:20,039
I could hear a noise over my head that sounded like the flapping of a bird's wings.

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,759
A large bird had picked up my box and was flying away with it!

19
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,337
Suddenly, the bird dropped the box.

20
00:01:27,338 --> 00:01:30,687
With a loud splash, it hit the water.

21
00:01:30,688 --> 00:01:34,113
Luckily, the windows were shut and kept the water out.

22
00:01:34,114 --> 00:01:38,545
I was terrified because I could not get out of the box.

23
00:01:38,546 --> 00:01:40,692
Then I heard a clanking noise.

24
00:01:40,693 --> 00:01:43,906
My box now seemed to be moving through the waves.

25
00:01:43,907 --> 00:01:46,474
In front of me I could see a ship.

26
00:01:46,475 --> 00:01:50,480
Sailors from the ship had attached a heavy chain to my box.

27
00:01:50,481 --> 00:01:53,003
The ship was towing my box!

28
00:01:53,004 --> 00:01:57,395
"Help! Help!" I shouted loudly.

29
00:01:57,396 --> 00:01:59,774
I had to make the sailors hear me.

30
00:01:59,775 --> 00:02:03,130
I banged on the wall with my sword as I shouted.

31
00:02:03,131 --> 00:02:06,043
"Who are you?" a voice called out.

32
00:02:06,044 --> 00:02:09,362
"I'm Gulliver from England," I cried.

33
00:02:09,363 --> 00:02:11,921
"Please lift the box onto your ship."

34
00:02:11,922 --> 00:02:13,453
I heard laughter.

35
00:02:13,454 --> 00:02:19,759
Someone said, "Even ten men could not lift that box.

36
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,288
He must be crazy!

37
00:02:21,289 --> 00:02:23,231
Let's see who's inside."

38
00:02:23,232 --> 00:02:26,833
A sailor cut a hole in the lid of my box.

39
00:02:26,834 --> 00:02:32,055
"You saved my life!" I said when I climbed out. "Thank you!"

40
00:02:32,056 --> 00:02:36,209
I was stunned to see that the sailors were my size.

41
00:02:36,210 --> 00:02:40,656
They asked me many questions and looked at all the things in my box.

42
00:02:40,657 --> 00:02:45,588
A tall man said to me, "Welcome to my ship, the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Good Fortune.</i></font>

43
00:02:45,589 --> 00:02:47,108
I am the captain.

44
00:02:47,109 --> 00:02:49,741
We are on our way home to England."

45
00:02:49,742 --> 00:02:56,934
"Captain," I said, "I thought I would soon die and never see England or my family again."

46
00:02:56,935 --> 00:03:00,362
"Why were you locked in that box?" he asked.

47
00:03:00,363 --> 00:03:02,746
"Why was it in the sea?"

48
00:03:02,747 --> 00:03:10,281
I told him the whole story—about my voyage on the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Adventure</i></font> and meeting the giants of Brobdingnag.

49
00:03:10,282 --> 00:03:12,533
About Glumdalclitch and the farmer.

50
00:03:12,534 --> 00:03:14,480
About living in the palace.

51
00:03:14,481 --> 00:03:16,676
About my traveling box.

52
00:03:16,677 --> 00:03:26,448
"And I fell asleep in my box on the cliff," I said, "and a huge bird grabbed it, then dropped it in the sea."

53
00:03:26,449 --> 00:03:29,711
"Get some sleep now," the captain said.

54
00:03:29,712 --> 00:03:32,499
I could tell he did not believe my story.

55
00:03:32,500 --> 00:03:35,363
Later I told him more about Brobdingnag.

56
00:03:35,364 --> 00:03:41,453
I showed him everything in my box, including the huge stingers from the bees I had killed.

57
00:03:41,454 --> 00:03:45,103
When he saw them, he finally believed me.

58
00:03:45,104 --> 00:03:51,348
"I have traveled far," he said, "but I have never seen a land of giants.

59
00:03:51,349 --> 00:03:54,731
How strange and wonderful the world is!"

60
00:03:54,732 --> 00:04:00,139
Months later, in June of 1706, the <font color="#ffff00"><i>Good Fortune</i></font> reached England.

61
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:03,471
My family was very happy to see me.

62
00:04:03,472 --> 00:04:06,738
They were amazed when I described my adventures.

63
00:04:06,739 --> 00:04:13,285
"You must promise me," said my wife, "that you will never go to sea again."

64
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:24,838
For now, my adventures had come to an end.
