Gulliver’s Travels Jonathan Swift
Gulliver reaches Brobdingnag, a land of giants.
In the next few weeks, I began to have some very
interesting conversations with the King. He was an
intelligent, understanding person.
‘Tell me more about your country,’ he said to me one day. ‘I would
like to hear about your laws, your political life, and your 1 and
traditions. Tell me everything. There may be something that we can
usefully copy here in Brobdingnag.’
‘I shall be delighted, sir,’ I answered 2 . ‘Our king controls our three
great countries, Scotland, Ireland and England. We grow much of our
own food, and our weather is neither too hot nor too cold. There are
two groups of men who make our 3 . One is called the House of Lords
– they are men from the oldest and greatest families in the country. The
other is called the House of Commons – these are the most honest,
intelligent, and sensible men in the country, and are freely chosen by the
people. We have 4 to decide punishments for criminals, and we have
a large 5 , which cannot be defeated by any other in the world.’
While I was talking, the King was making notes. For several days I
continued my explanation, and I also described British history over the
last hundred years. Then the King asked me a large number of questions.
‘Why,’ he asked, ‘are you so often at war? Either you find fighting
enjoyable, or you have very difficult 6 ! Why do you need an army at
all? You would not be afraid of any other country if you were peaceful
people. And in the last hundred years, you’ve done nothing but rob,
fight and 7 ! Your recent history shows the very worst effects of
cruelty, jealousy, 8 and madness!’
