The law clearly states that whoever passes water in the palace is committing an act of high treason… Treason!! But… What did I do against the state? I'm a hero in Lilliput!Īs I found out, Skyresh had been plotting against me. Skyresh and the Queen are plotting your downfall. I've come to warn you as you are my friend. We met in secret in the light of the moon. But late one evening, Flimnap arranged to meet me outside the city walls. I got used to my life of comfort in Lilliput and ideas about escape faded away. I ate a lot to impress the King but later learnt that Skyresh used this against me, persuading the King that I was bankrupting the country. Three hundred cooks prepared my daily food.
In the meantime, before I heard how angry the Queen was, I continued to enjoy the hospitality of the Lilliputians. She refused to return to her rooms, even though they were thoroughly cleaned, and she swore to have revenge. I learnt much later that the Queen was horrified by the way I'd extinguished the fire, even though Flimnap explained to her that if it hadn't been for me, the palace would have burnt down. I didn't wait for thanks but hurried home to sleep. Ugh! It's splashing on me! What a terrible smell! I've got an idea! I drank a lot of wine last night and I really need to… Quick, Gulliver, you've got to help us! Where's your jacket? You can use it to smother the flames. They were useless against the huge flames. The tiny Lilliputians were running here and there, passing buckets of water the size of thimbles. English at Work (intermediate) Businessĭr Gulliver, wake up!
