Now the place where Gulliver lay asleep was a little way from the chief city of that land. When the king of the little people heard about the man-mountain, he ordered his men to bring Gulliver to the city as soon as they could.

Now this was not an easy task, but these were clever people, and this is how they did it.
They made a very long, low carriage, with twenty-two wheels.
Nine hundred of the strongest men fastened the sleeping Gulliver on to this carriage and fifteen hundred of the king's finest horses pulled the carriage along.

While they were on the way, two or three of the soldiers, who wished to see how the man-mountain looked with his eyes closed, climbed up on his face. One of them stuck his spear a good way up Gulliver's nose. It tickled like a straw and made him sneeze so loudly that he awoke. The little soldiers fled in terror.

The next day the journey was finished and Gulliver was brought to the king's city. When the people saw that he did not mean to do them any harm, they untied his cords and allowed him to stand up; but they took care to chain his left foot with ninety chains so that he could not run away.

The king and queen and many thousands of the citizens came out to see Gulliver.
Most of them were friendly to him, but some were bold enough to shoot arrows at him. Gulliver caught six of these rascals. He put five of them in his pocket and pretended that he was going to eat the sixth one alive; but the prisoner screamed so loudly that Gulliver allowed him and his five friends to run free.

For many months Gulliver lived happily enough among the little people. They set three hundred cooks to make his food and three hundred tailors to sew a new suit for him; and six of the king's wisest men taught him the language of the land.
In the end, some of the people began to grumble, 'we must rid ourselves of the greedy man-mountain, or he will eat up all our food. Let us give him a little less food each day, so that he will become thinner and thinner and starve to death.'

When Gulliver heard about this plan, he was struck with grief and he began to long for his own home. One day a small empty boat came floating to the shore. Gulliver fitted it with a sail and filled it with food, and in it, when the wind was fair, he set sail for home. Before long a big ship picked him up and carried him back to England.

When people in England heard his strange story, they would cry 'come, come, good sir, surely you have been dreaming!' Then Gulliver would show them some tiny sheep and cattle which he had brought home with him and they had to believe him.
