THE EARTHWORM AGAIN 



167 



Now this is not quite true. 

 The two parts do not die at once. 

 But it is only the head part that has much 

 chance to live. 



This head is not much like yours. 

 It has no eyes, no nose, no ears. 

 But it has a mouth. .

The Earthworm 

 cannot hear. 



But he can 

 feel and smell. 



He even feels 

 the light some- 

 times. 



The Earthworm 

 eats anything. 



But he likes onions and cabbages best of all 



They must have water. 



So we find them in damp places. 



When it rains, they hurry from their holes. 



They do not wait for the rain to come to them. 



Sometimes it is very dry. 



Then they go deeper and deeper in the ground. 



They do this when it is cold, too. 



You cannot find them then, even when you 

 dig for them.
