Solution

When Gulliver expressed his desire to see the city, the king willingly agreed. Orders were given to all the people to stay indoors. Gulliver then stepped along the two largest streets. Curious onlookers at the window and those standing on the tops of the houses looked out at him. Gulliver also saw the king's house, which was at the place where two great streets met. There was a beautiful garden on all sides of it. Lying down in the garden when he looked at the window, he saw so many beautiful rooms. In one room, he saw the queen and some of the young princess who were greatly pleased by his visit.

I am Mani. I had to take a bus to nearby city. I crossed the road to reach the bus stand. I got the bus, sat down, and read a book. Before I started to read, I just looked at the people around me. The two men sitting next to me were talking loudly. Some were listening to music on their phone. I was unable to focus on reading. The men were talking about cleaning the city. As they were talking, they opened a pack of biscuits to eat. After some time I dozed off. When I opened my eyes, the bus had reached the city. The two men were not there but pieces of the biscuits and wrappers were there. I cleaned the wrappers and put them in the dustbin.
