What interesting things did Gulliver encounter in the adult country?

Gulliver's second outing was on1June 20th, 702. He ventured to North America. Arrived in Brobdingnag Island in June of the following year. He and the sailors went to the island to look for fresh water. They were chased by a giant. His friend rowed away, but he didn't have time to escape. Gulliver hid in a wheat field like a forest (that wheat field is at least forty feet high). After a while, he saw a giant coming from the field. The giant is as tall as an ordinary church steeple, with ten yards of steps. Gulliver heard his call, several degrees louder than the trumpet. At first, it sounded like a thunderbolt in the air. After the giant gave a cry, seven giants came to him with sickles in their hands. These giants are twelve times taller than Gulliver, and their sickles are as big as six ordinary sickles. It turned out that the first giant was a rich farmer, and the rest were farmers who helped him cut wheat. A huge wheat harvester approached Gulliver's hiding wheat field. Gulliver thought of his dangerous situation: he was either hacked to death by a sickle in the wheat field or trampled to death by a giant. So he shouted. Hearing the shouts, the giant harvester looked around for Gulliver. At this time, the giant hesitated a little, just as we met a bug and were worried about being stung by it. Finally, he leaned down, picked Gulliver up with his thumb and forefinger and put it in front of him. He studied it carefully. Gulliver tried to be honest and didn't move. Because he has been held at an altitude of 60 feet, if he falls from his fingers, he will break into patties. Gulliver motioned to the giant that he was caught between his fingers. The giant understood, dressed Gulliver carefully, and then ran excitedly to his master. The rich peasants took Gulliver home. To his nine-year-old daughter, Glen Dakli Cheech. Gulliver slept in a huge bed. The mice here are so big that two of them run to the bed. Gulliver had to draw his sword to defend himself and finally stabbed one of them to death. The giants in the village regarded Gulliver as a little monster and came to see him one after another. It is suggested that Gulliver can make money. So the master put him in a box and took him to various towns for exhibitions. The master also asked Gulliver to perform knife and stick skills, which caused a sensation throughout the country. Later, he was taken into the palace to perform for the queen and ladies. The queen was so happy that she bought him from the rich farmer. Gulliver was reluctant to leave the rich farmer's daughter Glen Dakli Chi, so he made a request to the Queen: He wanted to keep the rich farmer's daughter as a nanny. The queen agreed. Great Britain is a peninsula, one side of which is connected with the mainland. China has 5 1 big cities with a very dense population. The king is a very learned man. He is "clear-headed and accurate in judgment." He asked Gulliver about European customs, religions, laws, governments and academics. Gulliver told him about the great events that happened in England in the last hundred years. But after listening, he said, "These major events are just a lot of conspiracies, rebellions, assassinations, massacres, revolutions and exile" and accused that "most of your compatriots belong to the most harmful category of disgusting little poisonous insects crawling on the ground in nature." Gulliver suggested helping him to make gunpowder and guns to strengthen national defense. The king was greatly disgusted and thought that the people who invented these killing weapons were "public enemies of mankind." "He would rather give up half the country than hear such a secret." He wants to govern the country with reason and kindness. His evaluation of people is: "whoever can make two ears of grain and two leaves of grass grow on the land that originally produced only one ear of grain and one leaf of grass will make greater contribution to mankind and the country than all politicians." So Gulliver thought, "This monarch has all kinds of qualities that people respect, love and admire: he is outstanding in talent, infinite in wisdom, knowledgeable, well-governed and deeply supported by the people." Gulliver lived in an adult country for two years. Once, he traveled with the king, and his box was picked up by an eagle in mid-air and then fell into the sea. Fortunately, he met an English ship to save him. Therefore, he returned to London on June 1706. Ended his adult kingdom.
