Unfortunately, he was in danger halfway, Gulliver narrowly escaped death, drifted to Lilliput, and was tied up by Lilliput. Lilliput people used a special car to transport the huge Gulliver to the capital to the king. His appearance attracted almost all the people of the Lilliput. Gulliver's docile performance gradually won the favor of the king and the people, and he gradually became familiar with the customs of Lilliput. At that time, another Lilliput Empire, brewski Empire, was preparing to invade the Lilliput empire from the sea. Gulliver crossed the Strait and towed 50 of the largest enemy ships back to the port of Lilliput, making great contributions. However, Gulliver's unwillingness to destroy the ancient brevish empire made the emperor very unhappy. At this time, there was a fire in the Queen's bedroom. Gulliver was in a hurry and wise. He took a bubble of urine to put out the fire, but it made the queen very angry. Therefore, the princes and ministers of the Lilliputian state colluded to get rid of Gulliver.

  • Brobdingnag
    • Shortly after Gulliver returned home, he went to sea again. Unfortunately, there was a storm and the ship was blown to Brobdingnag. Gulliver was caught by a farmer as high as 20 meters. Farmers took Gulliver to major cities across the country for exhibitions, and finally came to the capital. The farmer is eager to get rich. He has to perform 10 performances every day, which makes him very tired. When the farmer saw no profit, he sold Gulliver to the queen. Because of his small size and cleverness, Gulliver was very popular in the court, but he was often attacked by rats, birds and other animals. Facing the king, Gulliver proudly introduced all aspects of Britain and its history in the past 100 years, but was denied by the king one by one.In his third year in the country, Gulliver accompanied the king to inspect the frontier. Homesick, he pretended to be ill and came to the seaside to breathe fresh air. The eagle in the sky mistakenly took the box he lived in as a turtle. Several Eagles competed in the air. The box fell into the sea and was found by a passing ship. After Gulliver was rescued, he returned to England by ship.
  • Laputa
    • This time, Gulliver's ship was hijacked by a pirate ship. Gulliver narrowly escaped and was rescued by a flying island called Laputa. These people have unusual looks and strange clothes, and they meditate all day. The king and nobles lived on the flying island, while the common people lived on three islands, including Barney Barbie. After leaving the flying island, Gulliver came to barnibabi for a visit and visited the "lagerdo academy" on the island. What this academy of Sciences studies are all absurd topics, resulting in desolation all over the country, collapse of houses, and lack of food and clothing for the people.Then Gulliver came to sorcerer island. The governor of the island was proficient in magic and could summon any ghost at will. Therefore, Gulliver met many celebrities in ancient times and found that many records in historical books did not conform to historical facts, or even reversed the right and wrong. Later, Gulliver visited the kingdom of ragnarg and saw a kind of immortal old man Strubrugg. After leaving the country, Gulliver came to Japan and returned to Britain by ship.
  • Houyhnhnm
    • Five months after Gulliver returned home, he sailed again. On the way, the sailor rebelled, imprisoned him for several months, and then was exiled to Houyhnhnm. Here, Gulliver was besieged by an animal called Yahoo shaped like a human. Fortunately, a wise horse called Houyhnhnm helped him out. It turns out that horses are rational residents and rulers of the country, while Yahoo is an animal raised and slaved by horses. Gulliver's actions and words seemed to the Ma people of Houyhnhnm to be a rational Yahoo, which aroused their interest. Gulliver soon learned the language of the country. At the invitation of his master, he talked about that horses are beasts in other parts of the world, and Yahoo like him is rational and the owner of horses. This shocked Houyhnhnm. Under the influence of various virtues of Houyhnhnm, Gulliver was bent on staying in the Houyhnhnm country. However, the National Congress of the Houyhnhnm country passed a resolution to eliminate YeHu there. So Gulliver's wish cannot be realized. Reluctantly, Gulliver had to leave the country by boat and return home. Gulliver cherished the longing for Houyhnhnm and made friends with horses all his life.
