Original text:
Recently, far fewer people have been dying in Lilliput. Far fewer babies and toddlers have been dying as well as far fewer adults. This has happened for several different reasons. One reason is that fewer people are dying from heart attacks because they are eating better food. Another reason is that facilities such as garbage removal and sewerage are steadily getting better. Finally, people are becoming more aware of how important it is to wash their hands and bathe regularly.
