GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (9) [GULLIVER'S TRAVELS]

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (9)

One day some people came to tell the emperor that they had found a huge black object lying on the ground.

They said it was not alive, and they thought it might belong to the great Man Mountain.

It was my hat, which I thought I had lost at sea.

To bring it to me they made two holes in the brim and fasten cords from the hat to the harnessed of five horses.

It was then dragged along the ground for half a mile.
This did do it much good !

Another time the emperor asked me to stand with my legs apart so that his army could march between them.

There were no less than 3000 foot soldiers and 1000 horsemen, and they marched with arums beating and flags flying.
