Describe Gulliver’s walk around the city.
Answer
When Gulliver expressed his desire to see the city, the king willingly agreed. Orders were given to all the people to stay indoors. Gulliver then stepped along the two largest streets. Curious onlookers at the window and those standing on the tops of the houses looked out at him.

Answer
Yes, I have reached this unique land filled with tiny people with a big heart. Everything here is so tiny, so small. Animals of different shapes and sizes. Small and tiny. Hey wait! The cow is a little bigger than the dog while the cat will have to grow some more to reach the size of a dog! Houses are big but only big enough to accommodate its tiny residents who are not even one foot high? Vehicles too are as small as its owners. Plants blossom all the year round. Tiny plants with tiny fragrant flowers add to the beauty of this beautiful miniature land.
