Presenting "Part One: A Voyage to Lilliput"- the most famous segment of a classic 18th century satire. Shipwrecked on an unknown island, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself not merely a fish out of water, but a very big fish in a small pond. He awakens to find himself tied to the ground by the natives of Lilliput- tiny people small enough to fit in his pocket and play hide and seek in his hair! At first suspicious, Gulliver soon earns the trust of the Lilliputian people, who enlist their newfound giant in defending them from their enemies on the bordering island of Blefufeu- residents who are also desperate to use the giant in their war against Lilliput
