Was centipede a honest person?if yes than give reason.

Centipede isn't a person but seems to have honesty. Centipede is one of James' friends on the peach. James is initially scared of Centipede (and of all the peach's other inhabitants), but soon learns to like this gigantic, wisecracking creature. Centipede has 42 legs, is very particular about his boots, and is in the habit of telling stories through songs (which often are often reproduced at the end of Dahl's chapters). Despite the charming elements of his joking, outspoken personality, Centipede's outlandish personality sometimes gets him into trouble.

Along with the other creatures, Centipede is personified and anthropomorphized by Dahl, who gives everyone onboard the peach human characteristics. At the end of his journey, Centipede is even given a high-profile job in the human world. He lives happily ever after at the conclusion of the novel and is made Vice-President-in-Charge-of-Sales of a high-class firm of boot and shoe manufacturers.
