The Wiggly Worm's Adventure

Once upon a time, in a colorful garden, there lived a long, wiggly worm. This worm loved to explore! He slithered through the tall grass, under the big, bright flowers, and around the shiny rocks.

Every day, he found something new and exciting. One sunny morning, he stretched his body and said, “I am long, and I can see so much!”

The worm danced and twirled, making friends with butterflies and ladybugs. Remember, being long can help you see the world in a special way!
