#THE BFG BOOK FOR FREE WINDOWS#

After this the BFG takes Sophie to Dream Country to catch more dreams, but is taunted by the other giants along the way, notably their leader, the Fleshlumpeater. It is rather unusual in that the bubbles in the drink travel downwards and therefore cause the drinker to break into loud flatulence instead of burping: this is known as a Whizzpopper. The BFG helps Sophie recover, makes her a new dress and treats her to a strange, but delicious fizzy drink called frobscottle. In a rage, the beast destroys the cave and storms out. The Bloodbottler crunches up the snozzcumber, but luckily spits Sophie out. Sophie hides in the snozzcumber, unknown to the BFG, and the BFG offers the snozzcumber to the Bloodbottler, hoping that its foul taste will send the giant hollering out of the cave and leave him in peace. The Bloodbottler (correctly) assumes the BFG is talking to a human and begins searching for Sophie so he can eat her. The giant demands who the BFG is talking to, but the BFG lies telling him he is talking to himself. However, Sophie's life is put in danger by the sudden arrival of the Bloodbottler Giant, one of the fearsome, flesh-eating giants who live in the wastes outside the BFG's house. Sophie and the BFG form a quick bond, and the BFG develops a paternal sentiment for her. Because the BFG refuses to eat people, he must survive on a revolting vegetable known as a snozzcumber.

The other, larger giants are vicious, cannibalistic monsters they go out into the world to steal and eat humans, mostly children, since there is little else for them to eat where they live. Operating in the strictest secrecy, the BFG catches dreams (which manifest themselves in Dream Country as floating semi-fluid sparkler-like objects) and at night, he blows his bottled dreams into the bedrooms of children. The giant sees her, and although she tries to hide in her bed, he reaches through the window and carries her away to his home.įortunately for Sophie, she has been abducted by the world's only good giant, the Big Friendly Giant (or BFG).
