Interior Minister of Lilliput: 'But you're a Giant! A monster
sent by our enemies to destroy us!'
Gulliver: 'I'm not your enemy; I'm just different ....'
Minister: 'Different! That makes you an enemy!'
Gulliver: 'No, I'm different from you and you are different
from me. So you see, we're both the same. That makes us
equal. ...'
