Answer:
b) Belinda tickel the dragon because the dragon cried on the safe cage. All laughed at dragon reaction
Answer:
(a)Mr. Kessing called Anne 'an incorrigible chatterbox' because he was annoyed at her incessant talking in the class. He had warned her many times no to talk in the class while he was teaching, yet Anne could not resist the temptation to talk. In order to discourage her from chattering he gave her assignment to write an essay on 'A Chatterbox'.
Quite interestingly, Anne wrote quite a big essay in which she put forth arguments defending her chattering in the class. He had a good laugh reading the essay. However, when the class started again, Anne began talking again. In order to punish her he gave her another essay to write on An Incorrigible Chatterbox'.
(b) Belinda tickled the dragon unmercifully because it was very scared and cried for a safe cage. They all laughed at it as it was a coward.
