This was a nice book written by Roald Dahl. There was a giant called BFG. He was a dream – blower, who blows dreams
through a long trumpet into the bedrooms of children. There was an orphan called Sophie. One day, when she could not sleep well and
was awake, she spotted this giant who was 24 feet tall, blowing dreams into the
bedrooms. The giant, who also noticed Sophie
watching him, took her in his huge hands and walked away to Giant country,
where nine other human – eating giants lived.
But the BFG was not a human – eating giant, he was a BIG FRIENDLY GIANT. The BFG collected dreams from a place called
Dreamland and kept each dream in thousands and thousands of jars. His diet was Snozzcumbers, a disgusting
vegetable and a sweet, tasty drink. One
night, when the other giants, Fleshlumpeater, Bloodbottler, Meathugger,
Childchewer, Butcher Boy, etc. went to hunt poor little boys and girls, Sophie
could not bear it and asked the BFG to do something. He was helpless, so Sophie herself thought of
an idea. She wanted to tell about it to
the Queen of England, as the giants went to England to hunt. But how could she tell? She had a plan. She thought of conveying the message through
dreams. She asked the BFG to mix dreams
about the Queen, the giants, the little children, Sophie sitting on the window
sill of the Queen’s bedroom and BFG himself. He mixed the dreams and they set
off to England with the dreams. BFG blew
it in the bedroom of the Queen around midnight and Sophie waited in the window
sill. In the morning, when the queen’s
maid opened the curtains, Sophie jumped into the bedroom and narrated the story
of the giants killing the children like in the dream. So, the queen made arrangements and soldiers
were sent to Giant country where the giants where sleeping. They all capture the giants, tie them to
helicopters and fly back to England.
There was a prison which was 500 feet deep and several feet high built
to imprison the giants. It was done and
Sophie and BFG lived in England happily ever after.
