A Voyage to the Land of the Little People (1) | Soeahaxn-Laang-Kog Iukix (1) |
I am Lemuel Gulliver, and I am a doctor. I was born in London. I was the third of five brothers. I left school when I was seventeen years old, because my father was not rich. | Goar si Lemuel Gulliver, ar goar si isefng. Goar ti London zhutsix. Goar si goxee hviati-tiofng ee toexsvaf ee.

Several
years later I went to Bristol. I had a friend there.
He was the captain of a big ship. One day, he told me that
he was going to sail soon for the South Seas, and that he needed a doctor
on his ship.
He asked me to be the doctor on the ship. I wanted to go abroad and see the world, so I accepted his offer. |

The name of the ship was th Antelope, We set
out from Bristol on the 4th of May, 1699. Everything went well at
first. But then a very heavy storm carried us off course.
The ship struck a rock, and began to sink. Five of the crew
and I threw a lifeboat into the sea. But we were not strong enough
to manage the boat.
Suddenly a strong wind turned it over and it sank. I swam as hard as possible for a long time. I could see none of the other men. Perhaps they were all drawned. |

I
often put my feet down, but could feel no bottom. The sea was
too deep.
Finally I was not able to swim any longer. When I was so tired that I was ready to give up, I suddenly discovered I could touch the bottom. I waded in the shoal almost a mile before I got to dry land. Then I lay down on the short and soft grass. I was very tired, and soon I fell into a very deep sleep. |
