"Now you are our prisoner, we will bring you to the king," answered one of them.

Finally Gulliver was carried by the dwarf humans. It took a lot of people to carry Gulliver. However, they were able to bring Gulliver to the palace to face the king.

After arriving at the palace, Gulliver was questioned by the king about being stranded to the island. After listening to Gulliver's explanation, the wise king allowed Gulliver to stay in his country.

"All right, you can stay in my country," said the king. "Servant, give our guests sufficient food, Gulliver," ordered the king to the palace maid.

Gulliver was happy with the kindness of the king and the people of the country. Gulliver then thanked them. Gulliver did not forget to give the king a gift, namely a gun. The king was amazed by the gun given by Gulliver. According to him, Gulliver's description gun was like a cannon for them.

"Don't worry your Majesty, I will help you," said the kind Gulliver.

Gulliver then looked for a way to face the attack from the enemy kingdom. He then went to the dock. At the docks, Gulliver asked the Liliput country troops to prepare the ropes with a hook at the end. Since the enemy was close to the dock, Gulliver headed their way. Gulliver threw the rope with the hook to tow their ship. Gulliver will face them before they face the royal army. Several hundred arrows hit Gulliver's body, but this was considered meaningless by Gulliver. Because the arrows are small.

With the help of the residents of Liliput country, the ship could be repaired and could be used properly. Gulliver is happy because he can sail back home.

"My friends, I'm going to go back to my house. Thank you for your kindness. I'm sorry if all this time I have a mistake," said Gulliver to his fellow coverers.

"We are also very grateful to you, because you also helped us a lot. Be careful on Gulliver Street!” said the people of the land of liliput.

Finally, Gulliver parted with the people of the Liliput country. Gulliver returned safely to England. Arriving at the port, people became amazed by the small cows brought by Gulliver. Gulliver just smiled at their amazement.
