A Voyage to Lilliput

Emperor holds a stick in his hands.

One by one, the candidates jump over the stick or creep under it backwards and forwards. Whoever performs with

greatest agility is rewarded with the blue silk. The red is given to the next and the green to the third. They wear this wrapped twice around their middle. Only the most important persons of the Court wear one of these belts. After a wthe horses of the cavalry were no longer frightened of me. Riders could jump their horses over my hand on the grou

One even leaped over my foot, shoe and all. I amused the Emperor one day in an unusual way. I asked for several stitwo feet high. I fixed nine of these firmly in the ground in a large square.

From Gullivers Travels, Jonathan Swift
