One
day, the emperor of Blefuscu sent a letter to me. It was a
letter asking me to visit his country. I wanted to go there.
= When the emperor of Lilliput heard this, he got angry agin. He ordered his men to drive me out of the country. I was very angry and made up my mind to go to Blefuscu. |
Uxcidjit,

Then
I took off my clothes and put them in the biggest ship. I swam
to Blefuscu. We soon became good friends.
= Three days after that, while walking along the coast, I found something large floating on the sea about a mile away from the shore. It looked like a boat. I took off my shoes, and waded to it. Soon I came near it. It really was boat. The boat was upside-down. |

I
ran back to the emperor and asked him to send twenty of the largest ships
and two thousand men to tug the boat to the shore. With the
help of his men and his ships I could bring it onto the shore.
The people were very surprised when the saw the big boat. |

| "I will get ready
to go back to England." I said to the emperor.
The emperor was very sad when he heard this. But at last he agreed with me. I thanked him very much for his kindness, and began to prepare to set sail for England. |
