Lamboo was a cook by profession He was extremely fond of travelling Once a captain undertook a voyage to a distant country and he asked hus lnend. LAMBOO, to come With him as the ship’s cook LAMBOO at once accepted the otter and the voyage began.
All went well In the beginning Then a terrible storm arose in the sea and the ship was wrecked. Six of the crew of which LAMBOO was one, got Into a little boat and began to row In search at the nearest land Suddenly, a huge wave came and upset the boat. All other men on the boat were drowned. Only LAMBOO survived, LAMBOO swam as best as he could and kept swimming for miles. At last he was able to reach an Island. He was very much tired. He stretched himself on the soft grass and went to sleep.
When LAMBOO woke up It was daylight. He lay still for a moment wondenng where he was and then tried to get up. He could not do so. because he was bed to the ground.
Just about that time he felt that there was somethmg moving up his legs. It was a very tiny creature, a man, less than six Inches high.This tiny man carried a bow and arrow In his hand. There were hundreds of such tiny soldiers all over him. He roared loudly With the result that they all fell back one on top of the other. Although LAMBOO was a strong man yet he could manage to break only a few strings. He was taken as a prisoner to the emperor of the Island. The emperor was also a tiny thing. LAMBOO had been very gentle and kind to the emperor's men.
LAMBOO said to the emperor. “Your highness! Could you set me tree so that I could go and see your beautrtul Island?" The emperor said, “No. you can't go unttl I have made sure that you don't carry any dangerous weapons on your person.” The emperor then asked two of his trusted men to search LAMBOO thoroughly, The emperor’s men searched his pockets and wrote down everything they lound there. Here are some of the things the emperor's men found to LAMBOO's pockets: A handkerchief which everybody thought was as big as a carpet.
A snuff box LAMBOO always earned one on hum. They called thus lmle box a chest trlled With dust It made them sneeze.
A comb They knew what a comb was used for. But they thought that thrs particular comb looked Iike the railing round the emperor's place.
A notebook They knew that a notebook was used tor writing. They however thought that the writing was too bug and too large.
A knife, a razor and a pair of pistols. All these were new to them.
They did not know what they were for.
A watch. They thought that the ticking of the watch was like the loud noise made by a mill.
When the two little men had lintshed searching LAMBOO‘s pockets, they looked at has belt. They thought this was a sword, very large and very sharp They made a note of this, too. In their list.
The two Iittle men earned thus trst to the emperor.
“You carry a sword, I understand. Why don't you take it out and put it on the ground? You have to be disarmed completely.” Sand the emperor to LAMBOO.
The emperor then asked LAMBOO about his pistols. He told the emperor not to be afraid. These pistols were empty. LAMBOO tired a shot In the air Everybody tell down for tear except the emperor who ordered LAMBOO to give up his pistols. LAMBOO did so,And all of LAMBOO's things were put away in the emperor‘s museum.
The emperor thus made sure that LAMBOO was not a dangerous man and set him free.
The emperor asked LAMBOO if he wanted to say any thing, LAMBOO said,
respectfully to the king that the land of the king was a beautiful place.People are strong and healthy. How could it all be so nice and Beautiful. LAMBOO exclaimed In surprised. The king told hin that though they were tiny and small, yet they were Wise. They had small families. Each one had a lot to eat and every one was Healthy there. LAMBOO thought In despair that his country was over crowded and not so rich. “AIas! We could do something about It " He thought to himself.
