Description: The Queen of Brobdingnag’s dwarf became jealous that Gulliver replaced him. In retaliation the dwarf found several ways to torment Gulliver. One way, shown here, was by shaking an apple tree, causing apples to fall on Gulliver. Because of the size of the apples, they could knock Gulliver flat on the ground when they hit him.
