Description: After he was rescued, Gulliver showed the captain of the ship some of the things he took from Brobdingnag. These included the comb he made with the King’s beard stubble, the Queen’s ring, stingers from the wasps, and a tooth pulled from a footman. Gulliver tried to give the captain the ring as thanks for saving him, but the captain would only take the tooth.
