Jonathan Swift / Tranzlaty
When I woke daylight had just broken.ከእንቅልፌ ስነቃ የቀን ብርሃን ገና ተሰብሮ ነበር።I attempted to rise, but I could not get up.ለመነሳት ሞከርኩ ግን መነሳት አልቻልኩም።I had happened to fall asleep on my back.በአጋጣሚ በጀርባዬ ተኝቼ ነበር።And now my arms and legs were fastened to the ground.እና አሁን እጆቼ እና እግሮቼ መሬት ላይ ተጣብቀዋል።My hair, which was long and thick, was tied down too.ረዥም እና ወፍራም የነበረው ፀጉሬም ታስሮ ነበር።I could only look upward, unable to move in any way.ወደ ላይ ማየት የምችለው በምንም መንገድ መንቀሳቀስ አልቻልኩም።The sun began to grow hot, and the light hurt my eyes.ፀሀይ መሞቅ ጀመረች እና ብርሃኑ ዓይኖቼን ጎዳ።I heard a confused noise all around me.በዙሪያዬ ግራ የተጋባ ድምፅ ሰማሁ።But I could see nothing except the sky above me.ነገር ግን ከእኔ በላይ ካለው ሰማይ በስተቀር ምንም ማየት አልቻልኩም።After a little time I felt something alive.ከትንሽ ጊዜ በኋላ የሆነ ነገር ሕያው ሆኖ ተሰማኝ።Something was moving on my left leg.በግራ እግሬ ላይ የሆነ ነገር እየተንቀሳቀሰ ነበር።It gently advanced over my chest.ቀስ ብሎ ደረቴ ላይ ገፋ።
