Earthworms
are the most important little animals on earth. And why?
They eat old vegetation, and, the tunnels they make aerate
the earth.
And,
earthworms are very tasty, too. Birds, badgers and
moles eat them for dinner. And, you could eat them as well!
And, why not? There are, after all, enough to go round.
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!
