2. Activities

(1) Tell any one of the stories orally imagining you are Gulliver.

Ans: Students must do this on their own. 

(2) Write any one of these stories, not as told by Gulliver, but by some other person.

Ans: We saw a huge man lying on the ground, and we were terrified. Who was this giant? We tied him down to the ground with all the strings we could find in such a way that he was not able to move. Then we took our bows and arrows and climbed up his foot and stomach. We stood ready to shoot him if necessary. But even though we were so ready, we got frightened when he got up and gave a loud scream. Most of us ran back; some jumped down and injured themselves.

(3) Imagine that you are in a land of tiny people like Lilliput. Write about some of the interesting things you might see there, including animals, houses, plants, vehicles, etc. Find an interesting name for this land.

Ans: Once. I got lost when I was on a hike in the hills. I slept, and when I woke up, I saw that I was in a strange land. On my hand, I saw what looked like ants, but when I looked closely, I saw that they were actually elephants. When I sat up, something that appeared to be breadcrumbs fell off my body. I heard a faint cry; when I looked closely, I saw that they were people in cars. The tiny green dots on the ground were actually full-grown trees. I suddenly realized that I was in the land of tiny people. I called this land “Teeny-Weeny Land”.

(4) If you were to grow very tiny like a Lilliputian, what are the things you would like to do? Write about any three of these things.

Ans: If I were to grow very tiny like a Lilliputian. I would like to sit on the top of a tree in a forest and observe the animals. I would also like to go high up on the wing of a plane and see the stars. I would like to travel on a dust particle and go wherever it takes me.
