In this story…
Ant, Tiger, Farm helper, Sydney the centipede
Max, Cat, Ant and Tiger were at their local city farm.It had been a busy morning.Max and Cat went to get a drink at the cafe.
Ant dragged Tiger the other way.
"I've got something to show you," Ant said.
"Worms!" said Tiger.
"Cool isn't it?" replied Ant.He pointed to a glass wormery where there were lots of worms wriggling about."You put waste food in and the worms eat it."
"What is so cool about that?" asked Tiger, puzzled.
"It's recycling," said Ant. "They turn the food into compost."
"My grandad puts compost on his garden," Tiger told him.
"He says it helps the plants grow."
Ant pressed his face against the glass.
"I want to have a look at the worm eggs,'' he said."I wish I could shrink."
Ant's watch had gone wrong earlier that day.He did not want to risk shrinking until he had fixed it.
Then Ant had an idea.
"Your watch is working," he said to Tiger."You could go in and get a worm egg for me." Tiger backed away.
Ant grinned. "You're not scared are you?" he asked.
"No!" snorted Tiger. "Go on, Tiger. Please!" said Ant.In the end Tiger agreed.
Tiger turned the dial on his watch and...
Ant picked Tiger up. He opened the hatch on the wormery.He was about to put Tiger in when he heard a voice behind him.
Ant turned around. It was one of the farm helpers.
"Have you seen Sydney?" she asked. "Sydney?" said Ant.
"He's a giant Australian centipede. He's escaped."
"No, I've not seen him," said Ant."But I will tell you if I do."
The woman thanked him and walked away.
"Phew!" said Ant, putting Tiger down. "That was close.''
Tiger jumped inside the wormery.He landed on the earth with a thump.
He got to his feet and looked round.There were lots of worms.
They seemed as big as snakes.
Tiger soon found some worm eggs.He was about to pick one up when something came crashing through the waste food.Tiger spun round.
A centipede was coming towards him.It was as big as a crocodile!
