Read the passage. from Gulliver's Travels
I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as
reckoned about nine hours, for when I awaked it was just day-light. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir for as I happened to lie on my
back, I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground, and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the same
manner. I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs. I could only look upwards, the sun began to grow
hot, and the light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me, but in the posture I lay, could see nothing except the sky. In a little time!
felt something alive moving on my left leg which advancing gently forward over my breast came almost up to my chin; when bending my eyes
downward as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his hands, and a quiver at his back
(from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift)
