Gulliver's Travels: Gulliver's Arrival & Initial Challenges in Lilliput

The first night that Gulliver spends at the farmer's house, he was so large compared to the Lilliputians that he could have easily killed several with a single step or crushed the entire structure with his body weight. Therefore, he was bound hand and foot with about sixty ropes before he was removed from the chest. It took four hundred to carry Gulliver's box.
