Characters：I-Gulliver，the King-–the ruler of Lilliput
I was careful to behave as well as possible，to ask the King to give me my freedom.Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me.They called me the Man–Mountain.Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand，and from time to time children came to play games in my hair.By now I was able to speak their language well.
One day the King invited me to watch the regular entertainments，which are greatly enjoyed by him，his family，and his lords and ladies.I was most interested in the rope-dancing.A very thin rope is fixed thirty centimeters above the ground.People who want to become the King's most important officials jump and dance on this rope，and whoever jumps highest without falling gets the best job.Sometimes the King orders his lords to dance on the rope，to show that they can still do it.This sport is，of course，rather dangerous，and there are occasional deaths as a result.It seems a strange way of choosing officials.
There was another interesting entertainment.The King holds a stick in front of him，and sometimes moves it up and down.One by one，people come up to him and jump over the stick or crawl under it.They go on jumping and crawling as the King moves the stick.The winner is the one who jumps and crawls for the longest time，and he receives a blue ribbon to wear round his waist.The second best receives a red ribbon，and the third best gets a green one.Many of the Lilliput lords wear their ribbons proudly at all times.I had certainly never seen entertainment like this in any of the countries I had visited before.

（1）From the poem，why did "you" hold "my" hand tight when crossing the street one day？One Day
One day I counted your fingers and kissed each one.
One day the first snowflakes fell，and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin.
One day，we crossed the street，and you held my hand tight.
Then，you were my baby，and now you are my child.
Sometimes，when you sleep，I watch your dream，and I dream too...
That someday you will dive into the cool，clear water of a lake.
Someday you will walk into a deep wood.
Someday you will run so fast and so far，your heart will feel like fire.
Someday you will swing high，so high，higher than you ever dared to swing.
Someday you will hear something so unhappy that you will fold up with sorrow.
Someday you will call a song to the wind，and the wind will carry your song away.
Someday I will stand on this porch and watch your arms waving to me until I no longer see you.
Someday you will look at this house and wonder how something that feels so big can look so small.
Someday I will watch you brushing your child's hair.
Someday，a long time from now，your own hair will glow silver in the sun.
And when that day comes，love，you will remember me.
