  Imagine yourself in the forest wilds. If you saw some animals grouped together, what would you wonder? What are they talking about? Do they plan and discuss things just like people? There must be issues that confront animals that people don't even think about. Just like people, every animal has a talent to contribute to the group. Which ones are the most valuable because they get the best results? Is it the big, powerful ones like the elephant and the lion, or the less noticed, unexpected ones? Take yourself on a journey to the forest and discover what really goes on.

  Gulliver's Travels, originally Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. The English dramatist John Gay remarked, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted into films, movies and theatrical performances over the centuries. The book was an immediate success, and Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".
