  • Dr Gulliver, I see a ship coming towards us.

  • Let me look.

  • Pirates!

  • Quick, fill the sails!

  • Full speed ahead!

  • Yes.

  • Pirates!

  • They caught us.

  • Luckily, they spared my life,

  • but set me adrift in a small canoe with paddles and enough food for only three days.

  • I'm Gulliver, and this is my third voyage to the mysterious land of Laputa.

  • Once again, a voyage I'd begun full of hope ended in misfortune.

  • My luck ran out when the pirates arrived, so here I was floating in a canoe.

  • For three days I saw nothing and no one, just mile upon mile of water and sky.

  • Then I came upon a tiny rocky island and survived there by roasting birds' eggs,

  • eating dried seaweed and drinking from pools of water.

  • My situation seemed hopeless.

  • But one morning... A black shadow crossed the sun and the air went cold.
