II

I climbed up a steep hill from which I could look around. I was surprised to see that the grass here was very high, about twenty feet.

Then I came to a wide road, as I thought, but it was really only a foot-path through a field. I walked along that path till I came to a great fence at the end of the field. Here I saw another giant, who climbed over the fence. He was as high as a tower. I was very much afraid and tried to run away and hide in the grass, but I soon fell down. I was lying and thinking of Lilliput, where I could pull a whole fleet in one hand, when I saw the giant’s foot over me. I screamed as loudly as I could, and he heard me. He stopped and looked at the ground around him. At last he saw me. He took me in his hand and brought me near his eyes to see me better. He thought that I was some insect or little animal. I was terribly frightened. “He will drop me on the ground,” I thought. I raised my arms and looked up and asked him not to drop me. He did not understand me, but he was surprised that I could speak, so he carried me to his master who was a farmer.

The farmer looked at me with interest, then he put me down on the ground on all fours. But I got up at once and walked slowly here and there to show these people that I did not want to run away. I took off my hat and said some words to the farmer in a very loud voice. At last the farmer understood that I was not an animal, but a man. He spoke to me, but I did not understand him. Then he put his hand on the ground and made me a sign to step on it. I stepped on his hand and lay down in order not to fall. He covered me with his handkerchief and in this way carried me home.

When the farmer came home, he showed me to his wife, but she screamed and ran away, just as women in England do when they see a mouse or a frog. But later, when she saw that I was a man, she was very kind to me.

It was dinner-time. There were three children in the family and an old grandmother. The farmer put me on the table. His wife gave me a little piece of meat and some bread. They found the smallest glass, which was the size of a very large jar, and filled it with beer for me. I took it with great difficulty in both my hands and drank. Then I took my knife and fork out of my pocket and began to eat, which gave them great pleasure.

In the middle of the dinner, the farmer’s cat jumped on its mistress’s knees. It was three times larger than a cow. I knew, of course, that if you run away from a wild animal, it will run after you and attack you. So I did not show that I was afraid, but approached it and walked five or six times before the cat’s head. It paid no attention to me at all.

When dinner was almost over, the nurse came in with a child of a year old in her arms. The child saw me at once and began to cry, as children always do when they want to get a toy. Its mother put me near the child. It seized me and put my head in its mouth. I shouted so loudly that the child was frightened and dropped me. I did not break my neck only because the farmer's wife caught me in her dress.
