Day 26.1

On his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find himself a prisoner of a race of people one-twelfth the size of normal human beings, less than 6 inches high (‘bout the size of a tall Smurf) who are inhabitants of the neighboring and rival countries of Lilliput and Blefuscu. After giving assurances of his good behavior (or behaviour if you want to French it up), he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court.

From there, the book follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbors the Blefuscudians by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the country to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the court. Gulliver is charged with treason and sentenced to be blinded. With the assistance of a kind friend, Gulliver escapes to Blefuscu, where he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship which safely takes him back home.

Having resided in Lilliput for several weeks and finding it necessary to quickly flee, Gulliver (whose first name is Lemuel, a name that really needs to come back in popular favor) left several belongings behind. Fortunately, none of these items were particularly valuable, and it should be noted that the Lilliputians found several uses for Gulliver’s lost items.

On a side note, wouldn't "Blefuscu" be an AWESOME name for a rock band?
