My name is Lemuel Gulliver. I was a doctor on a ship. In the year 1699 our ship went to the South Sea. One day there was a big storm. The wind broke our ship on a rock. I swam and swam for many hours. At last my feet touched the ground. I walked out of the sea. I was very tired. I lay down on the soft grass and slept for nine hours. When I woke up, it was morning. I wanted to stand up, but I could not move. My arms and legs were tied to the ground. My long hair was tied to the ground too. I could only look up at the sky. The sun was hot, and I heard a little noise near me.
