Searching for Worms! By Nigel A. JAMES
Earthworms
Earthworms
are the most important little animals on earth. And why?
They eat old and decaying vegetation, and, the tunnels that
they make aerate the earth. And, it is this that helps
our crops grow. But, not all earthworms are the same. There
are long ones, short ones, grey ones, pink ones, and even ones with
little black heads. All in all, there are more than 26
different species of earthworms in Europe.
And,
earthworms are very tasty, too. Birds, badgers and
moles eat them for dinner, and, if you were to be hungry, you
could eat them as well! And, why not? There are, after all, enough
to go round. There are 2 million earthworms for every
piece of ground the size of a football field!
And, how
does little Susi catch earthworms? The answer is simple! She
digs a hole in her garden and waits. And, what does she
do with the earthworms she catches? She puts them in her little
brother's sandwiches! What a nice little girl!
