Snozzcumbers: Extract from The BFG

"But if you don't eat people like all the others,"
Sophie said, "Then what do you live on?"
"That is a squelching tricky problem around
here," the BFG answered. "In this sloshflunking
Giant Country, happy eats like pineapples and
pigwinkles is simply not growing. Nothing is
growing except for one extreemly icky-poo
vegetable. It is called the snozzcumber."
"The snozzcumber!" cried Sophie. "There's no
such thing!"
The BFG looked at Sophie and smiled, showing
about twenty of his square white teeth. "Yesterday,"
he said "we was not believeing in giants, was we?
Today we is not believing in snozzcumbers. Just
because we happen not to have actually seen
something with our own little winkles, we think it is
not existing." p.51.
