Gulliver's travels (1st Dec 22 at 1:29am UTC)
The story soon spread to the houses of the neighbors, and they began to say that my master had found a monster in the field, the size of a "Siwulaknak," but shaped like a man everywhere. It can also imitate people's every move, as if it has its own language, but also learned a few of their words. He walked upright on two legs, was gentle and polite, and did as he was told. It has the most beautiful limbs in the world, and its face is whiter than a three-year-old daughter of a noble family. There was a farmer, who lived near by, who was a special friend of my master's, and he came to visit, and wanted to find out the truth. My master immediately took me out and put me on the table. I walked on the table according to his orders. I took out my waist knife and put it back in the scabbard. I saluted my master's friends, greeted him in their own words, and said that he was welcome, all in accordance with what my little nurse had taught me. The old man's eyes were dim, and he put on his glasses to see me carefully. I couldn't help laughing, because his glasses were like two full moons shining into the room from the window. When the family found out what I was laughing about, they laughed with me, and the old man was so silly that his face changed with anger. As far as my misfortune is concerned, he is not at all wrong to say that he is a miser. He gave my master a bad idea to take me to the next town to exhibit on the day of the market. The town was about twenty-two miles from my master's house, half an hour's ride away. I saw the master and his friend whispering for a long time, and sometimes pointing at me, and I guessed that they had some bad idea. I overheard some of their words and understood a few of them. When I get scared,car radiator cap, I think about it. But the next morning my little nurse, Gramdalclitch, told me the whole story, which she had cleverly learned from her mother. The poor little girl took me in her arms and cried with shame and sorrow. She was afraid that the rude vulgar people would hurt me. When they hold me in their hands, they may crush me to death or break my hands and feet. She also said that I was so simple and gentle, and so concerned about my own face, that I should think it a great shame to make money by playing with me for the most obscene people. She said that her parents had promised her that "Greeltrig" was hers, but now she could see that they were going to treat her like last year. Last year they pretended to give her a little lamb, but when it grew fat and strong, they sold it to the butcher. As for myself, I am not as worried as my little nurse. I have always cherished a strong wish that one day I would be free again. As for the disgrace of being carried about as a monster, I consider myself a veritable stranger in this country, deep draw stamping ,titanium machining parts, and when I return to England, I shall not be humiliated by such a misfortune as has befallen me, for the King of Great Britain himself, in my place, will suffer the same. My master thought that my friend's words would work, and on the next market day, he packed me in a box and took me to the neighboring market town. He took my little nurse, his little girl, and sat her in the saddle behind him. The box was sealed on all sides, except for a small door for me to get in and out, and a few small holes for air circulation. The little girl was very careful. She took the bedding from the doll's bed and put it in the box so that I could lie all the way. It was only half an hour's journey, but I was very upset and very uncomfortable, because the horse not only had a stride of more than forty feet, but also rose and fell very high, and the box rose and fell like a ship in a storm, but much more frequently than the ship. We seem to have travelled a little further than from London to St Alban. My master dismounted in front of a small hotel he frequented.
After consulting with the innkeeper and making the necessary preparations, he hired a "Grutrud," the town warden, to inform the whole town to come to the Green Eagle Inn to see a monster; It was no bigger than a spraknak (a beautiful animal of the country, about six feet long), and it was human in every way, and it could talk a little, and do a hundred interesting tricks. I was placed on a table in the largest room in the hotel, which was almost three hundred square feet in size. My little babysitter was standing on a low stool next to the table, watching over me and directing my performance. My master, in order to avoid crowds, let only thirty people come in to see me at a time. Walking up and down the table in accordance with the instructions of the little nurse. She asked me questions in as few words as I could understand, and I answered her in a loud voice. I saluted the audience, walked around the table, said welcome, and said something else I learned. Gramdalclitch gave me a container the size of a pin for a drinking glass, and I took the glass full of wine and drank to the health of all. I pulled out my waist knife and danced for a while like a British fencer. I played for a while with the straw which the nurse gave me to use as a gun, which I had learned to do in my youth. I performed twelve performances that day, and I was often forced to repeat the tricks of playing with knives and guns over and over again. I was so tired that I was weak and miserable. Those who had seen my performance were making a lot of noise, so people were ready to break in and watch. My master, for his own good, allowed no one to touch me except my little nurse; and to prevent danger, he set a circle of benches round the table, and separated me from the crowd, so that they could not touch me. But a naughty schoolboy picked up a hazelnut and threw it straight at my head,Magnetic Drain Plug, almost hitting me. The hazelnut was so fierce that if it had hit me, I would have blown my brains out, because it was almost as big as a small pumpkin. But I was glad to see the hooligan beaten up and thrown out of the room. autoparts-dx.com
