My story is entitled the unsung hero Gulliver gets his freedom within the country.

Once upon a time,Gulliver the unsung heros ship got spoilt and then found himself in the strange country of Lilliput where the citizens and other inhabitants were one-twelveth the height of most normal human beings.

The unsung hero was very tall and huge as he was considered more like a giant and mascular in structure .

Also the man mountain, Gulliver was considered very strong and white in complexion with a beard.

Due to the fact that he was mascular in structure the elders in the country thought that he could help them with most of their hard tasks such as building a strong empire and an army for the country.

Again the Lilliputians were at first terrified of him and then they tied him down while he slept and later they kept him actually chained up like some sort of a dangerous animal due to the mere fact that they were scared and afraid of him

Also they tied Gulliver down while he slept and then they later kept him chained up like dangerous animal.

Again gradually they became sure that he was not an enemy they got to know and then realized that Gulliver was not an enemy at all.

The good behaviour of Gulliver pleased the Emperor,the army and the people so much that he began to hope for his freedom within a short time.

In addition Gulliver sent so many requests for his freedom that the Emperor at last mentioned the matter to his ministers.

One of the ministers did not agree for the freedom of Gulliver ,albeit that he was known as an unsung hero.

Although there was a vote carried against Gulliver the Emperor was allowed to make the rules and conditions upon which Gulliver should be set free.

These were the conditions upon which Gulliver should be set free.

Among such conditions are:

The man mountain Gulliver will not leave our lands without special permission.

Also the man mountain ,Gulliver shall not come into our city without our permission. Within two hours notice shall be given to the citizens and other inhabitants so that they may stay in their houses.

Again the man mountain Gulliver shall walk only on our high roads and shall not lie down. on most growing crops.

As the man mountain , Gulliver walks on these roads he shall take care not to step on any of our people or their horses and other carriages or take them up more like a giant without their permission.

Again the man mountain Gulliver shall then carry urgent messages to distant places within the country.

The Man mountain , Gulliver shall keep us against our enemies at the island of Blefuscu and then do his best to also destroy their ships in times of war which might attack the country.

The Man mountain, Gulliver will also help our workmen to lift heavy stones for building the wall of the park and other buildings that belongs to the Emperor.

The man mountain Gulliver obeyed these set conditions.

Also the man mountain Gulliver helped our workmen to lift heavy stones for building the wall of the park of the country.

Again the man mountain Gulliver then carried urgent messages to distant countries at very far places.

The man mountain Gulliver helped in defeating their enemies in times of war in the island Blefuscu.

Gulliver helped in throwing big stones and stepping on the inhabitants of Blefuscu and also arresting some with his hands and throwing others away.

The man mountain Gulliver made sure not to step on the inhabitants that is the Lilliputian due to the fact that they were tiny and small.

The man mountain Gulliver asked permission from the Emperor and his elders whenever he was about to go outside the premises of the palace.

Later he was loved by the Emperor and his elders since he obeyed their rules and the set conditions.

Finally within the period of two months the man mountain,Gulliver measured exactly the distance round our country by then walking round the coast and then counting his own footsteps.

However on his promise to keep the above conditions , the Man mountain Gulliver shall have daily allowance of food which is always enough for feeding about one thousand seven hundred and eight of our subjects.

It can be noted that the man mountain Gulliver shall be allowed to speak with the Emperor and then be shown other marks of our friendliness.

Lastly, the man mountain Gulliver agreed to these conditions gladly. It was then that the chains of Gulliver were taken off immediately and he was actually set free entirely.

Gulliver then asked, Why do they allow me the food of one thousand seven hundred and twenty eight Lilliputians.? I asked a friend some time after.The man mountain Gulliver made sure not to step on growing crops and he helped in destroying the ships of the people of Blefuscu in times of war.

Gulliver also helped in carrying tiny people to distant places in times of war and also when travelling.

In conclusion scientists within the country of the Lilliputians found out that Gulliver was twelve times as tall as one of them.

Due to this they decided that the body of Gulliver must contain at least one thousand seven hundred and twenty eight of theirs within the country.

The doctors argued that the body of Gulliver must require as much food as would be always sufficient for the number of Lilliputians within the country.

Gulliver after obeying the set conditions, he was freed by the Lilliputians and he sailed away in his ship to his home country on a far away distant land where the Lilliputians never saw him again but read his letters anytime he wrote to the Emperor and his elders.

After his journey ,when he got back home his family were so happy and they welcomed him with a surprise party.

They asked of his whereabout and the story about his journey.
