"Aqua-Farmer" When 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 re-match, offering Muriel as the prize if he loses. He begins training and Courage must help him win, or they will lose Muriel. "Food of the Dragon" A large dragon arrives at the Farmhouse looking for food -- it eats humans. 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 dragons who fed on humans and could fly, the dragon is puzzled: it can not fly, nor does it truly enjoy the taste of humans. Courage bravely cuts a deal with the dragon: he'll find out why, in exchange for his family's freedom.
