A Voyage to Lilliput

 
Lemuel Gulliver loves sailing. On 4 May 1699, he sets for sail with Captain Prichard. In his voyage, the ship hits a rock due to strong waves. Gulliver finds himself washed ashore. He wakes up and finds himself tied to the ground. He sees little people around him. When he tries to free himself, the little people start shooting arrows at him but the arrows do not injure him. Nevertheless, he feels very uncomfortable. He begs the people to free him although he could not understand their language. They only stop shooting the arrows when he lies still.
