so 
THE GLOW WORM. 
you may take the Glow Worm up in your hand, 
and it will not hurt you at all ; it will walk up and 
down all over your hand, and will cast a glow on 
it from its tail so that you will be able to see it 
very well, and yet it will not burn you. The Glow 
Worm has this pale fire that its mate may be able 
to find it in the dark. The male Glow Worm can 
fly, and it will fly up and down over the bank in 
the dusk, when it will look like a very pale fire fly. 
The Glow Worm is fond of a damp spot to live in, 
and you will find more of them when the dews fall 
than when it is dry, but it will not come out when 
it is very cold. The Glow Worm, and the Glow 
Worm Fly, both lie at rest all the day, and do not 
wake up till it is dusk, when they will be out at the 
same time that the bat and the owl are.
