GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (25)

GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (25)

I was pleased when they made a little boat for me and put it in a tub of water so that I could row about.

Sometimes they put a sail on the boat.
Then the Queen and her women would make a wild for me with their fans.
They liked to see how well I could steer.
It was great fun for me. 

Sometimes however life in Brobdingnag was no fun at all.
Once I had no fight off some wasps with my dagger.

They were as big as our pigeons, with stings as long as my thumb and as sharp as needles.
I killed four of them, but the rest got away.

On another day, a monkey came into my room, and picked me up.
I think he took me for a baby monkey, for he stroked my face gently as he held me.

Suddenly thee was a noise at the door, and he leaped through the window and up to the roof, carrying me with him.

They had to get ladders and climb up to drive the monkey away and bring me down.
