The BFG Chapter 22: Feeding Time Summary

  • While Sophie, the BFG, and the soldiers were gone, a massive pit was dug in England to house the giants. The giants are lowered into it.
  • Everyone is a bit reluctant to untie the giants (who can blame them? They don’t want to get eaten). The BFG volunteers to go down and untie them. He explains to the giants that they were captured because they ate humans. They still don’t really get why that’s bad.
  • The Fleshlumpeater threatens to eat the BFG now that his human food supply is out of reach, but the BFG grabs a rope and is lifted out just in time.
  • The BFG throws snozzcumbers down into the pit. Tasty.
  • He’s also brought the plants back so they can plant snozzcumbers in the royal garden. That way the food supply for the giants will never run out. Though since it’s snozzcumbers, some of the giants might prefer to starve. Still, that’s how punishment works.
