GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (18)

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (18)

A Voyage to BROBDINGNAG

After I had been at home for a while, I went to sea again, for I like to travel.

The first part of our voyage was pleasant, with nothing to trouble us.

Then one day there was a bad storm, and we were driven hundreds of miles out of our way.

we were lost.

There was plenty of food on board, but not nearly enough water.
So when one day we saw land, the captain sent several of us ashore to get water.

When we landed, there were no sign of a river or spring.
The other men kept to the shore, looking for water near the sea.
I walked inland, but I found no water and turned back.

From where I stood, I could see our ship's boat with all the men on board, rowing as quickly as they could back to the ship.

They had left me behind !

Then I saw why.
There was a huge man-like creature chasing them, taking great strides through the sea.
