Reldresal told Gulliver about a war with Blefuscu because of eggs:

A king of Lilliput made a law which ordered to cut eggs at the little ends

The emperor of Blefuscu helps the little endians.

4/10

What are Big-Endians and Little-Endians? Everyone in Lilliput has boiled eggs for breakfast. In the past, everyone cut their boiled egg at the big end. For this reason they were called Big-Endians. Then, an emperor cut his finger and made a law: everyone had to cut their egg at the little end. Most of the Lilliputians became Little-Endians but some people didn't want to become Little-Endian and left Lilliput. These people are supported by the Emperor of Blefuscu.

He left Lilliput and came back to England.

He put ropes on all the Blefuscu's ships and pulled them to Lilliput.

He killed all the people in Blefuscu.

5/10

The next morning, I went to the shore. I took off my coat and my shoes and swam across the channel. When I got near to the Emperor of Blefuscu's ships, his soldiers were scared. I put ropes on all the Emperor of Blefuscu's ships. Then I pulled them across the channel to Lilliput.

The Emperor of Lilliput was very happy. He gave me a special reward. The Emperor was so happy that he decided to send me to Blefuscu again: "You can kill all the Big-Endians!" - he said.

Does Gulliver accept to kill the Big-Endians?

No, he doesn't!

Yes, he does! He kills everyone.

"No! That's not right" - I shouted. "I can't help you. I don't want to kill people. I don't want to kill people because of eggs!".

A few weeks later, the most important Blefuscans came to Lilliput."We must end the war" - they said to the emperor. "We don't want to fight anymore. It's time for us to be friends" The Emperor of Lilliput said yes and the war was over.

Lilliputian writing is not from the left to the right like the Europeans. It is not from the right to the left like Arabic writers. It is diagonal, from one corner of the paper to the other.

The Emperor of Lilliput began to change. "He will fight against us" said a man. Later that night, my good friend came to see me. "You must leave Lilliput" - he said. "I know. It's too dangerous for me here" - I answered. We made a pla. The Emperor of Blefuscu helped me. He gave me food and drink. He also gave me some money. I took some of the little animals with me to show people at home.
