GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (24)

Every Wednesday, which was their Sunday, the king came to have dinner with us.

He liked to talk to me and to ask me about England.
He wanted to find out in what ways we were different from the people in his own country of Brobdingnag.

The only one I did not get on well with was the queen's dwarf.
He was five times as tall as me ー about thirty feet ー but this was small for them.
The king was twice as tall as he was !

The dwarf used to play tricks on me because the Queen liked me better than him.

Once he dropped me in a jug of cream.
I swam to the side and my nurse got me out.
The Queen was so cross with him that she sent him away.
