GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (7)
They gave me a new name :the Great Man Mountain.
In my pockets they found:
A handkerchief which they thought was like a carpet.
A snuff box which they called a chest filled with dust. It made them sneeze.
A notebook in which they recognised very large writing.
A comb. They new what this was for, but said it looked like th e railings round the emperor's palace.
A knife, a razor, and a pair of pistols. All these things were new to them, and they could not think what they were for.
A watch. They said it made a noise like a water-mill. They thought it must be a god which I worshipped, because I told them I always looked at it before I did anything.
A purse. They called this a net large enough for a fisherman, but they new I used it as a purse. They were very surprised at the size of the gold pieces in my purse.
