13 Read the beginning of “Gulliver’s Travels”. Who is the main character in this book?
I. I was born in England. When I was only fourteen years old, my father sent me to Cambridge to study medicine. I studied there for three years. When I left college, I went on with my studies and became a doctor. I always wanted to travel. I became a doctor on a ship, sailing both to the East and to the West Indies. On May 4, 1699, I sailed from Bristol for the South Seas as a doctor of a ship named the Antelope.
At first, everything went well, but then there was a great storm. The ship came very close to the rocks and crashed into them. Some of the sailors and I got a boat into the water. It was a small boat. When a big wave hit it, we all fell into the sea. I was swimming for a very long time and got very tired. I felt that I could not swim any longer. But the shore was not far away and soon my feet touched the ground. I walked out of the sea to a beach — there were no houses, there were no people. I was so tired that I lay down and fell asleep.
