Introduction

                          

       Not again! Class, we earthworms are on the move! The farming field 
just an acre away from our village was turned into a landfill not too many 
years ago. That's where I, Professer Eats-A-Lot-Of-Dirt,along with most 
of your Ma and Pa earthworms, grew up. Now THIS field is becoming an 
addition to the landfill because the people community still has not 
learned the value of recycling, reducing, and reusing. Grandfather 
earthworm is starting to tell his "When I Was Your Age" story again. Let's 
listen in...

       "When I was your age, Junior, the land as far as you can see was 
beautiful farmland with lucious crops as tasty as could be. Your 
grandmother and I grew up in that farmland. Along with our brothers and 
sisters, we worked hard at recycling the soil for the farmer. Oh, how he 
loved us for it. But then one day a sign went up in our field that told us 
we would have to move. The land was going to be used as a landfill. Do 
you know what a landfill is? Yuck! If only we could get the people 
community to recycle, reduce, and reuse..." 

       Maybe Grandfather has an idea there. Maybe we COULD convince 
the people community to recycle, reduce, and reuse. It doesn't hurt to try, 
and think of all our farmland that could be saved! Our moving date has 
been set for next month. Can we persuade the people community to 
recycle, reduce, and reuse before it's to late for OUR field and village?
