'Here is the repulsant snozzcumber!’ cried the BFG, waving it about. ‘I squoggle it! I mispise it! I dispunge it! But because I is refusing to gobble up human beans like the other giants, I must spend my life guzzling up icky-poo snozzcumbers instead. If I don’t, I will be nothing but skin and groans.’

I is hungry!’ the Giant boomed. He grinned, showing his massive square teeth. The teeth were very white and very square and they sat in his mouth like huge slices of white bread.

‘P . . . please don’t eat me,’ Sophie stammered.

The Giant let out a bellow of laughter. ‘Just because I is a giant, you think I is a man-gobblying cannybull!’ he shouted.

Welcome to the world of the giants!

Welcome, little human! Welcome to my little house! Well, you may think it is veeeery huge, but for me, it is tiny! Here is where I live, where I have all the dreams I have catched in bottles. And here is where Sophie teaches me English! I have improved a lot, Sophie always told me my English was... Peculiar. But now, she's gone and I can't take more English classes... And I think I know where she is!

Have you seen these witches? They have arrived not long ago, and they have changed everything! They have found the other giants, the biggest and the... we will say they are not really smart. Sophie and I were trying to convince them they should not eat humans, and we were getting to a point... But now, the witches have convinced the giants they must eat them, not every human, but only the children! Oh, my...

As I told you, I think I know where Sophie is. The witches have taken her! As you would say, kidnapped! That's why I need your help.

The giants are being controlled with magic. Of course, we are talking about witches! They have hypnotized them, and now they do everything they ask them. Poor things! I was lucky I'm smarter than them, and I know how to protect myself quite well. The thing is, if someone hypnotizes you, there is a certain word that can wake you up. And I think the same thing is going to happen with the giants! Here, I'll show you memories I have from some time ago...

I'll try to help you. I will provide you a giant dictionary. Not giant because it's big (indeed, it's HUGE), but because it's a dictionary with words used in giant talk. Click the red button!

The BFG

As you can see, there are words in those memories that sound a little strange. That is giant talk! And I think we could use some of those words to wake them up from them hypnosis... Well, not this ones. I have already tried, but they don't work! Maybe... Maybe we need to make them up!
