उत्तर
The other members of the family scrambled to find safety when the pirate attacked the Belinda home, but Custard charged in to engage the intruder head on. The dragon snorted like an engine, charged at the pirate like a "robin at a worm," and swallowed him whole while the pirate fired his pistol in an attempt to defend himself from the beast. He gobbled every bit of him.
