格列佛遊記》第三部就係講喇潑佗嘅。

巨人國返咗屋企後幾個禮拜,林苗·加厘華又出海,今次係去東印度。加厘華坐嗰架船畀海盜騎劫,加厘華走得甩但漂流咗去荒島。

正當加厘華唔知點算好之際,佢見到頭上有一座島喺空中飄浮—呢座鳥係天空之城喇潑佗。喇潑佗人畀加厘華上島,加厘華就開始四圍行,探索喇潑佗。佢發現喇潑佗嘅男人好熱愛對理論知識嘅研究,尤其中意哲學天文學,而且天空之城有極先進嘅科技,用咗磁力嘅原理令座島浮喺空中。加厘華一路喺喇潑佗學到好多嘢,而且仲受到唔錯嘅待遇,但係佢冇幾耐就開始覺悶,落咗去喇潑佗下面嘅一笪土地嗰度(喇潑佗會四圍飛嚟飛去,唔係喺固定一個地點飄)。

佢發現好多人都去過喇潑佗接受教育,但呢啲人冚唪唥都淨係識得做埋晒啲唔等使嘅研究,例如有其中一位教授就喺度談論點樣透過一個人「去完大便之後用邊隻手抆屁股」嚟評估佢係咪想謀反[1]

加厘華畀班無聊教授搞到好冇癮,就去咗隔離嘅巫島。佢受到巫島嘅首長招待,首長用巫術召喚歷史名人嘅靈魂嚟同加厘華講嘢。加厘華亦經過不死者嘅島,得知人有可能得到不死之身—但有不死之身嘅人係老咗都永遠唔會死,永遠要忍受年老帶嚟嘅病痛。最後,加厘華通過日本荷蘭英格蘭

La puta 查實源自西班牙話[2]

  1. 引文:"Another professor showed me a large paper of instructions for discovering plots and conspiracies against the government. He advised great statesmen to examine into the diet of all suspected persons; their times of eating; upon which side they lay in bed; with which hand they wipe their posteriors; take a strict view of their excrements, and, from the colour, the odour, the taste, the consistence, the crudeness or maturity of digestion, form a judgment of their thoughts and designs; because men are never so serious, thoughtful, and intent, as when they are at stool, which he found by frequent experiment; for, in such conjunctures, when he used, merely as a trial, to consider which was the best way of murdering the king, his ordure would have a tincture of green; but quite different, when he thought only of raising an insurrection, or burning the metropolis."
