A friend is a fellow adventurer, someone you can explore new things with: that's what Sophie and the BFG found in each other, and that's what you look for, too.

You can be down-to-earth (maybe even rolling in manure, à la Wilbur) when your friends are around, and they'll always give you a boost if you get too low—and vice versa.
