Courage the Cowardly Dog

S04:E09 - Aqua-Farmer/Food of the Dragon

Aqua-FarmerWhen the family visits an aqua park, the Farmer boasts loudly that he can swim better than the dolphin in the water show. The Farmer is challenged to a swimming contest with the dolphin and loses. The humiliation the Farmer experiences causes him to confront his failure. He becomes obsessively determined to win. The Farmer challenges the dolphin to a rematch, offering Muriel as the prize if the dolphin wins. He begins training and Courage must help the Farmer win, or they will lose Muriel.Food Of The DragonA large dragon arrives at the Farmhouse looking for food--human food! It attacks the house and occupies it, eats the Farmer as a snack, and sets aside Muriel and Courage for dinner. Courage learns of the dragon's personal anguish over having wings but being unable to fly. Raised by flying dragons who fed on humans, the dragon is puzzled: it can not fly, nor does it truly enjoy the taste of humans. Courage bravely makes a deal to find the answer to the dragon's problem in exchange for his family's freedom.
