King of the Worms
Jody Gerard was 10 years old when
he decided he needed a job. He thought it
might be fun to raise worms. He could sell
them to farmers and people who fished. So
in the spring, he bought many worms.
Jody put the worms in clean dirt. He
gave them water, leaves, and corn all
summer. The worms got fat, and Jody sold
many of them. But that winter he did not
put them in a warm place. The cold weather
killed all the worms.
The next spring Jody tried again. He
bought more worms. He took care of them.
Many people bought Jody’s worms.
