The soil is crawling with earthworms although we cannot see them. This is because earthworms are (13) creatures and a magnifying glass is needed to see them clearly. However, some earthworms can grow up to a few metres long. Earthworms make tunnels by munching through the soil, swallowing tiny bits of decomposed food (14) vegetables and fruit along the way. As they tunnel in the soil, they secrete slime which contains nitrogen. Plants (15) nitrogen to grow well. Hence, earthworms play an (16) role in the growth of plants and trees.

Earthworms excrete their (17) , which are called castings, underground or just outside their tunnels. These droppings are full of goodness as they help to make the soil more (18) , allowing new seedlings to grow in the ground.

Most worms do not live past one year for they have to cope with garden forks and other predators. It is a (19) belief that if you cut a worm into two, the two halves will still live and (20) into separate, fully formed worms. However, you could end up having two halves of a dead worm.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
