Soon after we arrived, the whole family sat down at the table for dinner. There was a large piece of meat on a plate about eight meters across. The farmer put me on the table, with some small pieces of bread and meat. I was very frightened of falling off the table. The farmer and his family were happy to watch me eating with my small knife and fork.
But when I started walking across the table to the farmer, his son picked me up by the legs. He held me so high in the air that my whole body was shaking. Luckily, his father took me away at once, and angrily hit the boy hard on the head. But I remembered how bad children could be to small animals. So I decided to forgive him. I fell on my knees and asked them not to punish the child any more. They seemed to understand.
Just then I heard a noise behind me. It sounded like twelve machines running at the same time. I turned my head and saw a huge cat, three times larger than one of our cows. The farmer’s wife held it in her arms, so that it could not jump at me. But in fact, because I showed no fear, there was no danger, and the cat even seemed a little afraid of me.
At the end of dinner, a servant came in with the farmer’s one-year-old son in her arms. He immediately started crying, because he wanted to play with me. His mother smiled and put me in his hand. When he picked me up and put my head in his mouth, I shouted so loudly that he dropped me. Luckily, I was not hurt, but it showed me how dangerous life was going to be in Brobdingnag.
After eating, the farmer went back to his work in the fields. I thought he told his wife to look after me, because she put me carefully on her bed and closed the door. I was very tired, and slept for two hours.
