After our ship crashed against the rock, I swam as far as I could. By the time Ifinally felt land under my feet, I was tired out. I walked for about half a mile. Then Ilay down on the grass and fell asleep.
I woke up as the sun was rising, but I found I could not move. My arms, legs and hair were tied to the ground!
Then I felt something on my leg. It moved up over my stomach and neck until it was standing near my face. I looked down and saw a very small man. He was just the same size as my middle finger! Where was I Who was this tiny person
Soon more small men started climbing all over me. There were around 40 of them. I shouted at them—the loud noise made some of them fall over. However, they soon got up again and continued moving across my body.
One of these small men began talking to me, but I could not understand him. I did not know what to say either. I tried to break free but only managed to pull one hand out of the ropes. When I lifted my left hand into the air, the small men began to shout. I looked down and saw a huge army of tiny people. They were coming straight towards me. "I must run away from them," I thought, but Idid not know how to get away.
Put the sentences below in the correct order. Write numbers 1-5 in the boxes.
a Gulliver pulled one hand free and thought about running away.
b Gulliver swam to land.
c Gulliver saw more small men, but he could not understand their language.
d Gulliver woke up and found that he was tied to the ground.
