The novel starts out with Lemuel Gulliver's life story up until his job on the //Antelope//. His ship wrecks in the West Indies and he swims safely to the remote island of Lilliput. When he wakes up he is held in captivity for a long time by the Lilliputians. He is surprised to see that these people are six inches tall and thousands of them come to witness him. While he is held in captivity he learns to speak the language of the Lilliputians as well as become a trusted member of their establishment. He sleeps on the rocks and is chained down at first but they make him a bed out of 600 of their beds. They search all of his pockets and get rid of his weapons. They eventually give him the liberty to be free from the chains and make him walk around the island. He agreed to nine articles of the Lilliputians, giving him his freedom.
