I'd spend with other Struldbrugs, friends of mine.Together we could help to destroy crime in the world, and begin to build a new and better life for everyone. had only just finished describing the happiness of endless life, when I realized that my friend's shoulders were shaking and tears of laughter were running down his face. "I really must explain," he said. "You see, you've made a very understandable mistake. You suppose that if someone lives for ever, he is young, healthy, and strong for ever too. And that doesn't happen. Our Struldbrugs have a terrible life. After living for about eighty years, they become ill and miserable. They have no friends and they can't remember much of the past. At that age the law considers them to be dead, so their children inherit their houses and money Then they sometimes have to beg to get enough food to eat. They lose their teeth and hair,they forget the names oftheir families, and the only thing they want is to die But that impossible!' I realized how stupid I had been, and felt very sorry for the poor Struldbrugs. I finally left Luggnagg on a boat sailing to Japan. From there I found a ship which was returning to England. M voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdriband Luggnagg had taken me away from home for five and a half years.
