GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (21)

Then in came the nurse with the baby in her arms.
He wanted me as a plaything.

when they gave me to him, he out my head in his mouth.

I roared so loudly tht the baby was frightened and dropped me.
I would have been killedif his mother had not caught me in her apron.

After dinner the farmer went back to his fields, and his wife put me to bed with a handkerchief over me for a sheet.
The bed was as wide as a main road in England, and the handkerchief thicker than the mainsail of a ship.

Later on, the daughter of the house made a bed for me in the baby's cradle.
This girl was very good to me.
She was nine years old and small for her age in that country, since she was only forty feet tall !

She called me Grildrig, which meant " Little Man "< and taught me to speak their language.
I liked her very much.
