Nick was a clever worm. He could stand on his tail. He could put a nut on his nose. Nick could also read. He could do a lot of things. Nick became the most popular worm of the year. His father said, "Well done!" All the little worms love Nick. They said, "Good, Nick, well done!" Nick was proud.
One day, Nick wanted to show off again. He said, "You are all afraid of fire. But I'm not afraid of fire!" Nick saw many dry leaves. He went into the middle of the leaves. Nick set the leaves on fire. Nick said, "Look! I'm not afraid of the fire!" Later, the fire was big. Nick said, "Oh, no! Help! Help!" But it was too late.
