This is Gulliver's Travels Summary. Long ago in England, there lived a businessman named, Lemuel Gulliver. One day, he decided to travel to the South Sea with his friends. The sea was rough and a violent storm struck their old battered ship. All the sailors, including the captain, drowned. Even Gulliver's friends could not be found. Gulliver was saved only because he held on tight to a large wooden log. He swam against the waves for hours and finally found himself near a piece of land. Gulliver didn't find anything on the shore except a few shrubs and trees. He was very tired from his long swim and soon fell into a deep sleep on the soft grass. When Gulliver woke up, he found that his arms and legs had been tied to the ground. Thin scratchy ropes were slung across his shoulders and chest and would not let him move. Then he saw a couple of tiny men dressed as soldiers, walking on his chest. And these tiny men could talk, they had captured Gulliver and took him as their prisoner. They told Gulliver that they were taking him to their capital city called Lilliput. Also, read Peter Pan Story For Kids Gulliver's Travels Hundreds of Lilliputians thronged around to see this giant.

He knelt down before the king and asked him if he could stay in Lilliput. The Lilliputians no longer thought that Gulliver was a giant sent to destroy them. They started to trust him.
