The red elastic things made me shiver with horror, and if I happened to step on one it made me quite ill. When I had a pain in my side la mère Colas used to forbid my sister to go out. But my sister got tired of remaining indoors and wanted to go out and take me with her. So she used to go and collect earthworms, and hold them up close to my face.
"Haul off them bunks, you blasted Earthworms!" McKenny stood in the doorway in his usual aggressive pose, and Tom and Astro hit the floor together to stand at attention. "Where's the other cadet?" "He went with Captain Strong, sir," answered Tom. "Oh?" said Mike. And in a surprisingly soft tone he added, "You two pulled green slips, eh?" "Yes, sir," they replied together.
The scratch of a striking light was heard, and a bright glow radiated from the interior of the building. The light gave birth to dancing leaf-shadows, stem-shadows, lustrous streaks, dots, sparkles, and threads of silver sheen of all imaginable variety and transience. It awakened gnats, which flew towards it, revealed shiny gossamer threads, disturbed earthworms.
"Oh Lord, Thou knowest that we are all groveling worms of the dust." I thought she meant that we all looked like wriggling red earthworms, and tried to make out the resemblance in my mind, but could not.
A loss of sleep, or loss of a meal, or a meal too much, will disarrange his point of view, and change his opinions," And thus do we see that a belief in "eternal punishment" is a mere matter of indigestion. A certain bishop, we have seen, experienced a regret that Darwin expended so much time on earthworms; and we might also express regret that Aristotle did not spend more.
The most suitable earthworms recommended for vermiculture are the epigeic and anecic earthworms. Perionyx excavatus is purplish red and rough. Near the two ends the Perionyx excavatus is almost black in colour. They also breed faster than Lampito mauritii. Earthworms prefer cool temperatures, moist soil, humidity, relatively less sunlight and neither too coarse nor too fine sand.
As was the little creature's habit, it did not soon repeat its cry; and probably would not do so more than once or twice; but would remain bearing its torture till the morrow when the trapper would come and knock it on the head. He who in his childhood had saved the lives of the earthworms now began to picture the agonies of the rabbit from its lacerated leg.
The dampness was such that innumerable earthworms lay in couples across the path till, startled even by her light tread, they withdrew suddenly into their holes. She kept clear of all trees. Why was that? There was no danger of lightning on such a morning as this.
And no bunch of Earthworms is going to make me lose the chance to get those last two by trying to make a space monkey out of me!" McKenny sauntered along the line of boys with that same strange catlike step and looked squarely into the eyes of each boy in turn. "Just to keep the record straight, I'm your cadet supervisor.
At the end of the course, I practically prepared a vermi-bed and also ate a few earthworms and cockroaches for experience! My stay in Chennai was not without its share of adventure. I recall that on my second day, I had entered a bus and rushed for an empty seat. So while I waited for the conductor to come on his rounds two inspectors came up to me and caught me for not buying the ticket.
