Lots of people came to the temple to see me. The emperor and his men were kind to me. They brought food and drink. And then six teachers from the university taught me the language of the country. In three weeks, I was able to speak their language and learned much about their country, Lilliput.
Soon after that, the emperor told two officers to look into my pockets. So, I picked up the two officers, and put them into one of my coat pockets. Then I put them into all my other pockets.
They found a pencil, a watch, and several other things there. The officers made a list of the things which they had found in my pockets, and gave the list to the emperor. He told me to throw down my sword, my pistol, and some other things. The emperor liked my watch. He told two officers to take it away. They carried it on a pole.
My pistol was also very strange to them. The emperor wanted to know how to use it. I had to fire the pistol in front of the emperor and his men. When I shot it, hundreds of small people fell to the ground.
The emperor often came to see me to learn different things.
One day when I was talking with the emperor, a messenger came to him. The messenger said to the emperor:
"When we were walking along the beach, we found something huge and black. Nobody knows what it is. It may be some great sea-beast, but it is not alive, for it doesn't move."
Soon I learned that the strange thing was my hat. I was wearing it when I was in the water, but I lost it when I was up on the beach.
The emperor told some men to bring it to him.
The next day, they made two holes in the brim and fastened a piece of rope to the thing and tied the rope to five horses. The horses pulled the hat for half a mile.
