Jonathan Swift / Tranzlaty
When I woke daylight had just broken.Apabila saya bangun siang baru sahaja pecah.I attempted to rise, but I could not get up.Saya cuba untuk bangun, tetapi saya tidak boleh bangun.I had happened to fall asleep on my back.Kebetulan saya tertidur terlentang.And now my arms and legs were fastened to the ground.Dan kini tangan dan kaki saya diikat ke tanah.My hair, which was long and thick, was tied down too.Rambutku yang panjang dan lebat itu turut diikat.I could only look upward, unable to move in any way.Saya hanya mampu melihat ke atas, tidak dapat bergerak apa-apa.The sun began to grow hot, and the light hurt my eyes.Matahari mula menjadi panas, dan cahaya itu menyakitkan mata saya.I heard a confused noise all around me.Saya mendengar bunyi keliru di sekeliling saya.But I could see nothing except the sky above me.Tetapi saya tidak dapat melihat apa-apa kecuali langit di atas saya.After a little time I felt something alive.Selepas beberapa lama saya merasakan sesuatu yang hidup.Something was moving on my left leg.Sesuatu sedang bergerak di kaki kiri saya.It gently advanced over my chest.Ia perlahan-lahan mendahului dada saya.And then it came almost up to my chin.Dan kemudian ia hampir sampai ke dagu saya.
