Worms

There are 2,700 kinds of worms. They may be slimy, but they help the earth.
Worms have lived for 120 million years. They eat leaves, stems, and dead roots. Then, their bodies get rid of this matter. This makes rich soil.
One kind of worm from South America is eight feet long. Other worms are only a few inches long. They all dig tunnels and look for food.
If there were no worms, we would be in trouble. Dead animals and plants would pile up. Our dirt would not be good. So if you see a worm, tell it, “Thank you!”
树

（世界上）有2700种蠕虫。它们可能粘糊糊的，但它们对地球有帮助。
蠕虫已经存活了1.2亿年。它们吃树叶、茎和枯根。然后，他们的身体就处理掉这种物质。这使得土壤肥沃。
一种来自南美洲的蠕虫有八英尺长。其他蠕虫只有几英寸长。他们都挖地道寻找食物。
如果没有虫子，我们就有麻烦了。死去的动植物就会堆积起来。我们的土壤就不会肥沃。所以如果你看到虫子，告诉它，“谢谢！”
