How was Gulliver woken up?
Gulliver's feeling a bit sleepy from all of this exercise and the half-pint of brandy he drank onboard ship before getting into this rowboat, so he lies down to sleep.
He wakes up at dawn after a lovely nap in the grass. May be the bright heat of the sun woke him up.
Gulliver tries to stand up, but he can't move at all. He's stuck lying on his back.
Gulliver notices that his arms and legs and even his long hair all appear to be tied down.
He can't look right or left, so he has no idea what is happening, but he does feel something moving across his chest towards his chin.
Gulliver turns his eyes down to look over his chin and he sees a tiny, tiny human being, no bigger than the length of Gulliver's finger.
The tiny fellow is carrying a tiny, tiny bow with lots of tiny, tiny arrows – and there are also around 40 other tiny guys following him.
