Earthworms
Earthworms live in the ground and are very important because
they make the ground healthy for plants to grow in. They are
(1) all over the world, but they are more common in
Europe. They do not live in deserts or (2) where there
is a lot of snow and ice. This is because it is too (3)
for them and the ground is hard. People have (4) some
kinds of earthworms which were as long as a ruler, but they are
usually only as long as your finger. Their bodies are (5)
up of little rings, and they have small hairs on them. The worm
uses these rings to (6) and make holes. People who
like fishing go looking for earthworms because they use them to
catch fish with. Fish love eating worms.
