Chapter 5
A Wild Escape
One day, Gulliver and Glumdalclitch travel to the south coast with the King and Queen. Gulliver travels in a travelling box which is also his home. With Glumdalclitch’s permission, a royal servant takes him for a walk along the shore. He then realizes his longing to see his own country. After a while, he returns to take a nap inside his travelling closet when suddenly the closet is carried away by a large bird. The bird drops the closet into the sea. Stranded at sea, he starts shouting loudly for rescue.
Fortunately, some sailors hear him and rescue him from the sea. They do not believe his adventures in the land of the giants until they see the gigantic objects that he has in his cabinet. He returns safely to England and heeds his family and friends’ request to stop sailing anymore.
