Question
Describe the fight between the dragon and the pirate.
✓

Answer

The dragon had big sharp teeth, and spikes on top of him and scales underneath but everyone laughed at him as he always cried for a nice, safe cage whereas everyone boasted about their bravery. But when the pirate entered, all were scared and ran away and disappeared except Custard who faced him boldly, attacked him, hit him hard with his forceful tail and gobbled every bit of him. All of them later felt obliged to Custard for saving their lives.
