Custard, despite being called a cowardly dragon, proved everyone wrong when a pirate invaded. He sprang into action immediately, seized the pirate in his jaws, and gobbled him up before anyone else could react. While Belinda and the others — known for their bravery — cried for help, Custard alone showed real courage.
This question is from the poem The Tale of Custard the Dragon by Ogden Nash (Class 10, First Flight, Chapter 10). The examiner expects two key points: (1) what Custard was called (cowardly), and (2) the specific brave act he performed — attacking and killing the pirate. Mentioning the contrast with the other "brave" characters adds a good touch and shows understanding. Keep your answer focused and within 40–60 words for 2 marks.
