- Sophie can’t stand just sitting there knowing British schoolchildren are going to get eaten. She keeps telling the BFG that they have to do something, and the BFG keeps explaining that there’s nothing he can do because he’s so much smaller than the other giants. (Not to mention outnumbered.)
- He’s also afraid of humans putting him into a zoo.
- They start talking about the Queen, specifically how Fleshlumpeater would love to taste her. That’s a whole new way of loving your monarch. Still, this gives Sophie an idea.
- First, she checks if the BFG could make a dream about anything, instead of just the pre-made ones in his shelf full of jars. He assures her he could, by mixing different dreams together.
- Sophie’s plan is to have the BFG make the Queen a dream about giants going to England to gobble up schoolchildren. The BFG will put himself and Sophie in the dream too. Then the BFG will physically place Sophie in the Queen’s bedroom window. When she wakes up, Sophie will convince her that the rest of her dream is real.
- This is not how politics usually work.
- The BFG isn’t so sure, but Sophie assures him that if he’s a hero, humans won’t put him in a zoo. Also, he won’t have to eat snozzcumbers again.
- Can you guess which part of that convinces the BFG to agree?
