Yesterday, Mama was cutting ladyfinger and she called us and told us that she found a worm in a ladyfinger and me and my brother called him Benzi and put him in a plastic box with some bits of ladyfinger.

When I saw him I thought he was a piece of straw and then I suddenly thought Ahhhh! The straw was moving! Then only I realize it was a worm

When he was in the box, he put his head inside the end of the ladyfinger and started earing like Ghomp! Ghomp! Ghomp! and in a few seconds, half of the ladyfinger was gone!

How fast it runs?

Benzi looked bored in his box so we made a small play area for him with mud, small branches, and seashells. When we put him there, then also the only thing he wanted to do was eat! So we took away the food and then Benzi climbed up a branch and started doing a silly kind of stretching and I thought he was doing yoga! We put him in a box and put him in the bathtub but Benzi got scared and curled up so we had to take him out.

After some time, we changed his home to a matchbox and kept him in the balcony but he managed to escape and went away! Mabey he ‘wormed’ his way out!
