Passage 1 Gulliver’s Travels

After our ship crashed against the rocks, I swam as far as I could. By the time I finally felt the land under my feet, I was tired out. I fell down on the beach and went to sleep. 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 the same size as my little finger! Soon more small men started climbing all over me. There were around 40 of them. I shouted at them—the loud noise made them all fall over. However, they soon got up again and continued moving across my body.
