"Look, Momo!" Fifi pointed at a long, pink worm wiggling on the wet garden path. "It's so squiggly!"

Momo cocked his head and sniffed. "What is that thing, Fifi? Is it a tiny snake?"

"It's a worm, " Fifi whispered. "I want to help it, but it feels too squishy." She poked it with one finger, and the worm danced. Fifi giggled. "It tickles!"

Momo yipped. "It's a wiggle dance!" Fifi gently scooped up the worm. "The sun is coming out. I think it needs to go home."

Fifi carried the worm to the flower bed and placed it on the soft soil. The worm wiggled and started to burrow. "Bye, little worm, " Fifi said.

A robin chirped nearby, but the worm was safe under the dirt. Fifi and Momo grinned at each other, dirt on their fingers, a tiny hero's goodbye.
