Reading the stories of the adult kingdom and the little kingdom

Answer 1

Gulliver's Travels had stories about the adult kingdom and the little kingdom. The protagonist of the book, Doctor Gulliver, had several sailing adventures, including drifting to Lilliput (Lilliput) and Brobdingnag (adult).

In Lilliput, Gulliver became the prisoner of the little people who were no taller than six inches. He was like a giant compared to the little people and was called the "Giant Mountain." He could eat up the meat and wine that the little people sent in fifty carts in one meal, and his palm could accommodate five or six little people dancing to their hearts 'content. He helped the Lilliputians defeat the invasion of neighboring countries and won the king's favor, but he fell out of favor because he used urine to extinguish the fire in the Queen's palace. The constant fighting between the Lilliputians and their neighboring countries reflected the situation in Europe at that time.

In the adult kingdom, Gulliver was captured and became the plaything of a giant more than seventy feet tall. He suddenly became a "dwarf". He was often in danger here. An apple would knock him to the ground and he would not be able to move. The monkey would hold him like a baby, dig out food from his cheeks and stuff it into his mouth. He had to be careful not to drown when drinking cheese. The king of Da Ren Kingdom was wise and the people were harmonious.

Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) wrote Gulliver's Travels in 1726. The book was divided into four volumes. Through Gulliver's experience in these fantasy countries, he constantly reflected on the advantages and disadvantages of his own national system. He used exaggeration and irony to criticize the British political system in the 18th century. This was a classic book worth reading. From it, one could gain a deeper understanding of the story of the adult country and the small country, as well as the meaning behind it.
