Every year in Bath, England, there is a special festival. People dress up in period clothes and have concerts and balls. They are celebrating the lane Austen Festival.

Jane Austen is an English writer. Born in Steventon, England, 1775, Austen was mostly educated at home, where she teamed how to play the piano, draw and write creatively.

In 1801, Jane, her parents and sister moved to Bath. Four years later, her father passed away and the family soon became poor. Austen and her family moved several times until finally settling(安頓)into a small house in Chawton. It was in this house that she wrote most of her works.

In March of 1817, Austen got serious health problems and was sent to Winchester for a cure so she had to stop writing. She died in July of the same year, at the age of only 4l.

Two months after returning to England, Gulliver sets sail on a ship, travelling to the Cape of Good Hope(好望角). On the way, a strong storm draws the ship off course and the ship finally arrives at an unknown land. Gulliver sees a giant following the boat. He runs away, and when he stops, he is on a hill. He is greatly surprised to see that the grass around is about twenty feet tall.

He walks down a path through a field but cannot see anything over a crop because it is forty feet tall. He tries to climb a set of steps into the next field, but he cannot climb over them because they are too high. When he sees another giant, Gulliver hides from him, but the giant calls for more people to come, and they begin to cut the crop with scythes(大鐮刀). Gulliver lies down and feels sad about his situation, thinking about how unimportant he must be to these giant objects.

A giant finally notices him, and picked him up between his fingers to get a closer look. Finally the giant puts him in his pocket and begins to walk towards his master.
