Describe
Gulliver's experience in Brobdingnag.
After escaping from Lilliput, Gulliver returned to
England. After a few days he set off on his voyages once again. After some time
the adventure was blown off-course by a storm and cast ashore in a new country.
Gulliver became busy exploring the new surroundings
and found himself in a cornfield. He realised that he was lost. Finally, a 72
feet tall farmer found Gulliver and took him home. “Where am I?” asked
Gulliver. “You are in Brobdingnag, the land of giants,” replied the farmer.
“You are so tiny, you will make a good pet for my daughter. She will be very
happy,” he said.
The farmer’s daughter adored Gulliver and kept him
with her throughout his stay. She treated him like a play thing, dressing and
teaching him. One day the farmer decided to make some money and toured with
Gulliver all over the country. Poor little Gulliver had to perform as many as
ten times a day! Finally the farmer sold him to the king of Brobdingnag.
Gulliver spent two years in Brobdingnag. But poor
Gulliver’s woes did not end here. Once barrel-sized apples fell on him, nearly
squashing him to death and another time hailstones as big as tennis balls, left
him hurt all over with bruises.
Then, one day, on a visit to the seashore, an eagle
snatched up the box in which Gulliver was being kept and dropped it in the sea.
The sailors on a passing ship picked up the box and Gulliver was very happy to
be back home where he was no longer considered a midget...................................................
