Part I Chapter I
“The Author giveth some Account of himself and Family; his first Inducements to travel. He is shipwrecked, and swims for his Life; Gets safe on shaor in the Country of Lilliput; is made a Prisoner, and carried up the Country.”
The author describes his family, life as a surgeon, and decision to go out to sea. The creatures of Lilliput are 6 inches so they were afraid of Gulliver’s massive size, but they are nevertheless intelligent, tying him down and upon provocation, shooting him with poisonous arrows. The Lilliputians, realizing his submission to them, feeds him food and drink. Later, the Lilliputians decide to carry him to the Capital City he lives in the Temple chained down.
