00:00Addis Ababa fairy tales and bedtime stories for kids, Gulliver's Travels.

00:06Once upon a time there lived a doctor named Gulliver.

00:11There came a time when there was no work to be found in the city.

00:16So Gulliver found a job on a ship.

00:19This way his new life had begun on shore.

00:23The first few days it went pretty good.

00:26He was getting used to his new life on the ship.

00:30But one day a very strong thunder struck.

00:33After struggling in the huge waves for some hours, in the end the ship tipped over.

00:41Gulliver and a few of the crew managed to get some rowing boats on the boat before it sank.

00:47A short while after their ship sank, it disappeared.

00:54They couldn't stay on this rowing boat for too long and soon after a strong wave hit them

01:01and this boat, like the ship, also tipped over.

01:04They scattered all over the place.

01:06For hours Gulliver struggled to stay above the water.

01:09He was trying to stay alive.

01:15In the end, the current helped him manage to hit ashore.

01:20He was very tired now.

01:26He had no idea as to where he was.

01:29Besides, he was in no state to think.

01:32He fainted right there on the shore.

01:40When he woke up, he noticed he had been tied up from head to toe.

01:45Surrounding him, he saw little tiny people as small as his palm.

01:51With amazement, Gulliver was staring at these little people.

01:55And with the same reaction, the little people were staring at him.

02:00Right at that moment, Gulliver felt a tingle all over his body.

02:04When he put his head up to see what it could be, he noticed his whole body covered in tiny arrows.

02:11The very frightened little people were throwing arrows at him.

02:19Please stop! Don't! I won't hurt you! Don't worry!

02:23For a few days, they kept him there with his hands and feet tied up.

02:28They gave him food and water.

02:32After some days had passed, they tied him on a car

02:36that was pulled by hundreds of tiny little horses

02:39taking him to their hometown.

02:41This little town was called Lilliput.

02:51They saved the largest building in the town for him.

02:54But even so, to get inside the house, he had to crawl.

03:02Seeing that Gulliver meant no harm to them, they decided to introduce him to their king.

03:10Gulliver approached Lilliput's king.

03:14The king allowed him to stay.

03:17But in order to stay, he told him that he must work and help around the city as much as he could.

03:31Gulliver signed a piece of paper that stated the do's and don'ts.

03:37For example, if he wanted to pick someone up with his hands, he needed to have permission.

03:42Under these circumstances, Gulliver began living in Lilliput.

03:47He was helping with the renovations of the buildings and carrying water to the locals.

03:55After some days had gone by, he found out a big problem amongst the little people.

04:02The neighbouring country's army wanted to occupy Lilliput.

04:06In order to do so, they were getting ready for war.

04:11Gulliver went over to the king and proposed to help.

04:21The king was happy.

04:23He first thanked him, then accepted his offer.

04:28At that time, the neighbouring country's ships had finished their preparations.

04:33They were waiting for their order to proceed.

04:37This news got all the town worried.

04:40On the other hand, for Gulliver, it was too easy.

04:44He asked everyone to find as much wire as they could and bring it to him.

04:51Gulliver joined all the wire they brought to him and made a very long and strong piece of string.

04:59When it was midnight, he got the long string of wire and crossed to the other side of shore.

05:05Without being seen to the enemy, he managed to get to the port on the other side.

05:11He tied all the ships to one another and with the very few soldiers that were inside, he pulled them to Lilliput's shore.

05:21The people waiting for him at the port were super happy.

05:25They had imprisoned the enemy's soldiers.

05:31They now had no reason to be scared of the enemy.

05:35The king thanked Gulliver and rewarded him.

05:39Gulliver was very happy he had gained the king's trust.

05:45A while later, there was a fire in the castle.

05:49The moment he heard about the fire, Gulliver took one of the ships in the harbour,

05:53filled it with water and poured it on the castle, putting off the fire immediately.

06:00Gulliver and the king were getting along very well.

06:04Before making a decision, the king was always asking Gulliver first.

06:08Of course, this started to get in the way of the other advisors to the king.

06:12They were envious of Gulliver.

06:15Your Highness, we hear rumours.

06:18Gulliver is planning to get stronger and take your position as the king of Lilliput.

06:23Really?

06:25Yes, my king. We all know how strong he is.

06:28We can't defend ourselves if he attacks us.

06:33We can't live in fear like this. The public is also on its toes.

06:38The king was well affected by his advisors and he decided to punish Gulliver.

06:45Considering the good he has done before, I won't give him the death penalty.

06:50His eyes will be blinded, he will be forbidden to go into town and his food will be limited.

06:57When he heard about the king's decision, one of the workers in the castle, who loved Gulliver,

07:02ran right next to Gulliver to tell him all about it.

07:08I can talk to the king and change his mind.

07:11But the decision was made and the king had no intentions to change his mind.

07:17Gulliver finally understood that his only option was to leave.

07:23At night, taking the enemy ships in the harbour with him, he began to move towards the island across.

07:30He walked and swam and finally came to the island of what people called the enemy.

07:40When Gulliver returned their ships, they understood that he didn't have bad intentions.

07:46With a guide next to him, they sent Gulliver to meet with the king.

07:51The king properly welcomed Gulliver and Gulliver told him all that had happened.

07:57The king told him that he could stay as long as he wanted.

08:02Gulliver was really surprised of this kind gesture after he stole their ships

08:08because he hadn't seen this kind of behaviour in Lilliput.

08:13Gulliver was staying out at night since there was no house big enough for him.

08:21People of Lilliput think this kingdom is the enemy, but actually they are all good people.

08:26One day, when he was walking about, he found a rowing boat.

08:31This was clearly the boat that they were on after his ship had sunk.

08:36Apparently our boat hit the shore on this island.

08:39He immediately went to the king.

08:42The king gave him all the men he needed.

08:47They all began to repair the boat.

08:51In a few days, the boat was ready for shore.

08:57Gulliver was very happy because he could leave the kingdom of the little people and go home.

09:05He thanked the king and his people who welcomed him.

09:12But a tough journey was waiting for him on this small boat in the big ocean.

09:19Even this small storm will sink my boat.

09:25After a couple of days on the ocean, he came across a ship.

09:31He began yelling for help.

09:35Hey! Here! Help me!

09:41Finally, they heard him.

09:49They came next to the rowing boat and took Gulliver on their ship.

10:00And so, Gulliver was safe.

10:04He was anxious to tell about all that had happened.

10:08The little people, the kingdom of Lilliput, and the kings of the two kingdoms.

10:16He wondered who would believe him about all that had happened.

10:21Gulliver felt very happy that he was going to go home to see his family.

10:27But he also felt there were many more adventures waiting for him out there in the big ocean.
