Tuesday 20th july

Today i saw: stacks and stacks of books on a table in the library waiting to be checked out and taken to my house.

the library is one of my most favorite places.

even though it didn't have the books i was looking for, i came across Roald Dahl's "BFG", which is a good substitute.

"Once again that sad winsome look came into the BFG's eyes.

'Words," he said, "is oh such a twitch-tickling problem to me all my life. So you must simply try to be patient and stop squibbling. As i am telling you before, I know exactly what words i am wanting to say, but somehow or other they is always getting squiff-squiddled around.'

'That happens to everyone,' Sophie said.

'Not like it happens to me,' the BFG said. 'I is speaking the most terrible wigglish.'

'I think you speak beautifully,' Sophie said."
