6 4 - When he reached the shore he was cold, wet and exhausted so he slept for a long time. When he got up, he couldn't stand up as he was fastened hard to the ground. He heard noises and something climbed his body, This thing was a human who was only 15 cm tall and was carrying a bow and an arrow.

7 5 - Gulliver tried to know who they were, he found that there were forty of them around him. When they heard Gulliver's voice, they moved away from him. They began to shot him with arrows so he decided not to move. The men realized that he didn't want to escape so they became quiet and confident.

8 6 - The men began to build a platform for an important man so that he could talk to Gulliver. The man was wearing important- looking clothes, the man began to talk, but Gulliver couldn't understand him.
