While he was thinking about this, a man from the court came and commanded my master, to carry me to the palace, because the queen and her ladies wanted to look at me.

The queen liked me very much and asked me some questions about my country and my travels, which I answered in a few words.

She asked me if I would like to live at court. I answered that I was my master’s slave, but I would be happy to stay at court if I could. Then the queen asked my master to sell me, and he agreed.

I asked the queen to allow Glumdalclitch to stay at court, and be my nurse and a teacher as before. The queen agreed, and the girl was happy. The farmer was also glad to leave his daughter at the queen’s court. So he went home and Clumdalclitch and I remained in the palace.

- __________________________________________________

The queen took me in her hand and carried meto the king. At first the king thought that I was some little animal. Then the queen put me on the table on my feet and asked me to tell the king all about myself. I did so, but the king refused to believe my story. He invited three great scholars and asked them what they thought about me. These gentlemen looked at me for a long time, then they told the king that I was a very strange animal. They did not understand, they said, how I could feed myself or defend myself against other animals: I could not run very fast or climb trees, I could not dig holes quickly in the ground.

I tried to explain to them that in my country and in other countries which I knew, all people were of my size, and all animals were in proportion, so, I said, there I could very well defend myself and feed myself. But they did not believe me.

The king sent them away and asked me many questions. He also spoke to Glumdalclitch, then sent for the farmer and spoke to him. Finally, he began to think that what I told him was true.

Now I shall tell the reader how I lived in the palace. The queen ordered some workmen to make a box as a bedroom for me. This box had a door and windows. The board which made the roof, could be raised, so Glumdalclitch could take my bed out every morning and put it back in the evening. Besides the bed, I had two tables and two chairs in my room, which one of the queen’s workmen had made for me.

The queen liked me so much, that she never had dinner without me. At dinner-time my table and chair were put on the queen’s table near her plate. Glumdalclitch stood on a low stool on the floor near my table to take care of me. I had my own plates, spoons, knives and forks, which were like toys to these people. Glumdalclitch kept them in a silver box in her pocket and always washed them herself. The queen used to put a little piece of meat on my plate, and it gave her a great pleasure to see how I cut it with my knife and fork and ate it. One of the pieces of meat which the queen herself put into her mouth was big enough to feed ten English farmers. I did not like to look at her when she was eating.

The queen sometimes laughed at me and called me a coward. She often asked me, “Are all the people of your country as great cowards as you? ” The reason was this: there were very many flies in the country in summer. When we were sitting at dinner, these terrible insects, each of them as big as our sparrow, gave no rest. Sometimes they came down on my food or on my face, and I always jumped up.

I remember, one fine morning, Glumdalclitch put me in my box upon a window, to give me air. I opened one of my windows and sat down at the table to eat a piece of sweet cake for breakfast. Suddenly about twenty wasps came flying into my room. Some of them seized my cake and carried pieces of it away. Others flew around my head and face and made a great noise. I was very much afraid of their terrible stings. I jumped up, pulled out my sword and attacked them in the air. I killed four of them, the rest flew away, and I quickly shut my window. These insects were as large as crows. I took out their stings. They were an inch and a half long, and as sharp as needles.

Part III
I

My life in Brobdingnag was happy enough, but as I was so very small, I sometimes had funny adventures. Glumdalclitch often carried me to the palace garden for a walk. One day she put me on the grass, as I asked her, and went to another part of the garden with some other friends. While she was absent, a small white dog which belonged to the gardener approached me. He picked me up in his mouth and ran straight to his master. Luckily, the dog carried me between his teeth so gently, that I was not hurt at all. My clothes were not even torn. The poor gardener, who knew me well, was in a terrible fright. He took me in both his hands and asked me how I felt, but I was so frightened that I could not say a word. In a few minutes I came to myself, and he carried me safe to my little nurse.

I cannot say whether I was pleased or not that the smaller birds were not afraid of me. They hopped about, looked for food and paid no attention to me. Once a sparrow seized a piece of cake out of my hand and ate it. When I tried to catch one of these birds, it bravely turned against me, ready to fight. But one day I took a thick stick and threw it with all my strength at a little bird so luckily, that I knocked it down. I seized the bird by the neck with both my hands and ran with it to my nurse. The next day I had a bird for dinner by the queen’s command.

Now I shall describe the country of the giants as far as I travelled in it.

It is a large peninsula, about six thousand miles long and from three to five thousand miles wide. It is joined to the northwestern parts of America by mountains thirty miles high. There are many volcanoes on the top of these mountains, so nobody can pass, over them, and nobody knows what kind of people live on the other side of the mountains. On the other three sides the peninsula is surrounded by the ocean.

I think our geographers in Europe make a great mistake when they think that there is nothing but sea between Japan and California. I shall be ready to help them correct their maps.

The whole country has not a single seaport. There are very many sharp rocks all along the coast, and the sea is always so rough, that it is impossible to leave the shore. But there are many ships on the large rivers, which are full of good fish. The fish in the sea are of the same size as the fish in Europe, so people do not catch them.

– _____________________________________________________________

I often travelled in this country, because when the queen went to some place, she always took Glumdalclitch and me with her. Besides the large box, in which I lived, I had a smaller one, in which I travelled. On the top of the box there was a ring, by which it was carried. This box had three windows, one in each of three walls. The fourth wall had no window. Oh that wall there were two strong hooks. If the servant who carried me was riding on horseback, he fastened my box to his waist by these hooks. I asked the workman to make a hole in the roof above my bed to give me air in hot weather when I slept. I could shut this hole with a board that moved backwards and forwards.

Two years passed. At the beginning of the third year Glumdalclitch and I went with the king and queen to the south coast of the country. When we came to our journey’s end, the king decided to stay for some time in a palace he had there. Glumdalclitch was ill and had to stay in bed. I had a great wish to see the ocean, for I knew that the ocean was the only way by which I could escape. I asked Glumdalclitch to allow a boy-servant whom I knew well, to carry me to the shore.

When we were on the shore, I told the boy to put my box on the ground. I opened one of my windows and looked at the ocean for a long time. I didn’t feel very well. I closed the window, and told the boy that I wanted to rest a little. Then I laydown on my bed and fell asleep. I suppose when I was asleep, the boy went among the rocks to look for bird’s eggs. I woke up suddenly, because something pulled the ring which was fastened to the top of my box. It was raised very high in the air and carried forward very fast. I shouted loudly, but got no answer. Through my windows I could see nothing but the sky. I heard a noise over my head, like the noise of wings. Then I understood the terrible condition I was in. An eagle was carrying my box by the ring. It was clear that it wanted to drop my box on a rock and break it, after which it could get me out and eat me.

Suddenly the box began to shake, I fell off the bed and then I felt that I was quickly falling. I think that the eagle which was carrying my box, was attacked by two or three others, and it had to drop it. The box fell into the ocean and went deep into the water. In a minute it began to rise, and soon I saw light through the tops of the windows.
