He is a farmer, who is working in the fields along with seven other giants just like him. Gulliver thinks of them to be monsters so he gets scared and shouts loudly. However, to his surprise, the ones who he considers monster were surprisingly kind to him. One giant picks him up and placed him on the ground. Thus, the rest come up to have a look at him. Gulliver now attempts to talk to them in different languages but is unable to communicate.

As Gulliver is so little in size, the farmer mistakes him for an animal. The farmer thinks that he might be a good amusement for his daughter which is why he takes Gulliver home with him. Being the kind person that he is, the farmer crumbles some bread and gives it to Gulliver to eat. The farmer’s one-year-old son arrives and grabs Gulliver and tries to eat him. Gulliver shouts loudly and the baby drops him but the farmer’s wife catches him. She puts Gulliver to bed and covers him with a handkerchief, thereby showing they are such kind creatures.
