On his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find himself a prisoner of a race of people one-twelfth the size of normal human beings, less than 6 inches (15cm) high, who are inhabitants of the neighbouring and rival countries of Lilliput and Blefuscu. After giving assurances of his good behaviour, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favourite of the court....
Here's my version of the story:
On her first voyage, Gullivette, formerly known as Julie, lands in the middle of the mountains and awakes to find herself a missionary to a people who are at least a head shorter than the Dutch of her native land. They are the inhabitants of the neighboring countries of Costa Rica and Nicaragua. After giving assurances of her good language skills, she is given a residence in Los Anonos and becomes a favorite of the village. They decide to nickname her Pequenita, or little one.
