The BFG

Hook:

"The ping-pong table was carried in.  Unscrew its legs and take them away Mr.Tibbs whispered.  This was done.  Now place the ping-pong table on top of the four grandfather clocks Mr.Tibbs whispered.  To manage this, the footmen had to stand on stepladders.  Mr Tibbs stood back to survey the new furniture.  None of it is in the calssic style he whispered.  But it will have to do. He gave orders that a damask table-cloth should be draped over the ping-pong table, and in the end it looked really quite  elegant after all. At this point, Mr Tibbs was seen to hesitate.  The foot-men all stared at him, aghast.  Butlers never hesitate, not even when they are faced with the most impossable prolbems.  It is their job to be totally decisive at all times.  Knives and forks and spoons Mr Tibbs was heard to mutter.  Our cutlery will be like little pins in his hands.  Mr Tibbs did not hesitate for long. Tell the head gardner he whispered, that I require immediately a brand new unused garden fork also a spade.  And for a knife  we shall use the great sword hanging on the wall in the morning-room.  But clean the sword well first.  It was last used to cut off the head of King Charles the First and there may still be a little dry blood on the blade."(pages 164-165)



Recommendation

Do you belive in giants? In this book a young orphan Sophie  gets  kidnapped by a giant. You might be thinking a mean, human eating giant but Sophie got captured by a very kind giant called The BFG. Altho, the BFG is a runt meaning the smallest giant. Sophie has gotten in touch with the mean, human eating giants before but the BFG has saved her before. The Queen of England gets to know Sophie and The BFG (my hook)! Some other mean, human eating giants are the: The Bonecruncher, The Childchewer, The Butcher Boy, The Fleshlumpeater and more discusting names! Have fun reading!
