He also locks away any nightmares he finds, to make sure they don't find a way to kids by themselves. The BFG lets Sophie in on his secret job - catching dreams from Dream Country, then mixing them up and distributing them to children (blowing them through a big trumpet). Sophie is very nearly eaten by one (the Bloodbottler) but survives when he spits out the disgusting vegetable she's hiding in. The other nine Giants are child killers, and downright terrifying. The other protagonist is Sophie, a little orphan girl who the BFG kidnaps (an action he later regrets) because she catches a glimpse of him for fear that she will tell the outside world of his presence- she's terrified at first, but, once she learns he's nice, she's actually quite glad to be out of the horrible orphanage she lived in. He is a Giant, the magic mythological kind who lives in Giant Country and is the only member of his race who doesn't eat humans. "BFG" in this case stands for Big Friendly Giant, and is the name of one of the protagonists. NO! Not that kind of BFG! Not to be confused with The Notorious B.I.G. "I is not like the others, I is a nice Giant, I is a freaky Giant.
