Once upon a mound of soil there was a city called Wormopolis (Population: 15,231 wait! A worm just got squished, make that 15,230). The city was famous for its golden seed, the most prized seed in the world. It was about 7 feet tall and 4 feet wide, but before they could plant it they had to find the last piece of it. The piece that was missing was shaped like a sword. There was a king who ruled the city. His name was King Worm. He was very proud of his city, it was one of the biggest. It was very healthy soil; also it was great for making cities in. The King had one son, and 1 pet butterfly. He lived in a root castle next to the mint plants. One normal day there was a splooshggh sound. Suddenly the town was covered in miles of mucus. A giant mole appeared out of the ground with hundreds, maybe thousands of slugs on it. All of them jumped off. They made an aisle. The meanest, ugliest slug came down the aisle. He had baby-barf green eyes and brown spots all over him. He walked up to the king s castle and knocked on the door. Come out come out he said. The king slowly opened the door. He saw the slug lord!! Give us he golden seed or we will take it by force said the slug king in a low growl. Never said the brave worm leader. Then I will take it! said the slug, Atttaaaaaccckkkk! But before the army could move, a giant pile of salt hit the Lord Slug. What is happening to me? He Yelled. I m dissolving I m shrinking I m...and that was the end of Lord Slug. But that didn t stop his army, who came charging at the castle.
But before they got to the castle they were taken down by billions of pounds of salt. And that was the end of that war. But it wasn t the end of the Lord Slug; he would rise again in another three minutes and rebuild his empire in two days. King Worm knew that the slugs would come again so he sent out a messenger to evacuate the city. In about 8 hours the city was empty. Not a soul in sight. The worms had moved to a warm clump of soil in Africa. They started to rebuild their city. Hours of nonstop work eventually made a new city. The city was called Wormopolis 2. It was huge, at least 12 feet long. One day the king s son Giglik was wandering around in the forest when he came to a very large plain. It was very marshy and had tall green grass. He walked into the clearing. He explored and then he stubbed his tail on something. He looked down and he saw a handle that was gold. He bent down and tried to pull it up. But it was too stiff to get out. He inched back to the city as fast as he could. He told his father (the king) that he had found a sword stuck in the ground, and that it was golden. Hmmm said the king. Where did you see it? I don t remember, but I can follow my tail trail back to it. Ok let s go. The king brought 12 guards with him. The guards followed the footprints until they found the handle and the marshy plain. First the king tried to pull it out. But it wouldn t budge. A guard tried. It wouldn t budge. Then the king ordered, Everyone help. They all pulled it wouldn t budge. They kept trying until they knew they couldn t get it out. Darn it, yelled the slug king in a loud shriek.
Then they walked back to Wormopolis 2. Two days later there was a flash of light and the sun turned into a TV screen. On the screen Lord Slug appeared. Once again it is I Lord Slug. Oh come on! Again, man? the King Worm yelled at the Lord Slug. Yes again! boomed Lord Slug. Come on man just a little more time? No! yelled Lord Slug. So King Worm warned his city. Once again the slugs are coming! Prepare yourself for battle. They could strike any day. A few days after the TV/sun incident, the whole city was having a fiesta. They were dancing the Gogler, (the Macarena for worms) eating L0PGUE (worm candy) and listening to live music. Then there was a loud crash. Oh never mind someone just dropped a glass cup. The king went onto the stage where the band was playing. He turned on the microphone. Excuse Me, he said. Sorry to interrupt your evening, but something bad has happened. My pet butterfly has died. Some scouts found her in my garden. If u know what happened please say something. Thank you, and have a good night. The fiesta started again but slower this time. The fiesta was going great but at 1am it cleared out. The next day the worm king took a walk in the forest. After about ten minutes he turned back to go home but Something hit him. He looked at the ground and saw what hit him. It was a scroll. He opened it and read
Hello worm king by the time u read this your city will be in ruins, Ha Ha Ha Love the slug lord! The king Wiggled home as fast as he could. When he got home nothing had happened. It was a normal day. Kids playing, Elder worms knitting, and grown ups Working. He got his megaphone and made an announcement. I have gotten a message from the slug lord he has said that There was a high-pitched rumbling sound and a Mole appeared with maybe hundreds and even thousands of slugs on it. All the slugs jumped off and made an aisle the slug lord appeared from the aisle. He walked toward the king s castle. But this time the Worms were ready. 15 guards jumped down from the castles roof and stood in front of the slug lord blocking his way. He was very mad and took out a machete and chopped all the worms in 2, but that made the problem worse. Now there were 30 guards in the lord s way. Farrrrglot! yelled the slug lord. All the slugs rushed at the castle. But they were no match for the worm guards. The worms had swords made of pure salt. Five minutes into the battle the worms had almost killed all the slug warriors. After the slug lord had very few slugs left he wiggled over to the worm king. I retreat. Said the slug lord. Do you promise to make peace with our city? said the worm king. Yes yes, anything just please don t kill anymore of my warriors. Ok it s a deal. You don t attack wormopolis and we wont destroy the rest of your army. Thank you thank you thank you, said the slug lord in a scratchy voice. The slug lord yelled goola! and all the slugs got back on
the mole. The mole went back into the ground and disappeared. The city was a complete wreck. There were piles of salt everywhere, buildings on fire and in ruins, and people crying and scared. The worm king got on his loudspeaker and made a speech. Me and the slug lord made a deal, if we don t finish his city off he wont attack us anymore and we will have peace with his city, and we will all live with no more fears. Yaaaay! the whole city roared. Whos want to havs a par-tay cheered a worm baby. EVERYONE yel- This is a random mid story pop quiz Circle the answer you think is correct Is this story worth reading? OMG you rule Henry I guess it is Go eat trash Henry Smith Who is wormopolis biggest enemy?

Yes he absolutely loves it No Maaaaybeee NEI Well back to the story -led Meeeeee! Wooot hooot! yelled the worm baby. The fiesta started about 2 minutes after the baby said wooot hooot. There was live music, Candy, and food. Everyone was dancing and having a grand time. The king was thinking, I wonder what happened to the golden sword. Should I go and attempt to pull it out? Poof suddenly a little leprechaun appeared and said duh man. The king inched back to his castle and realized his son was at the fiesta. Dang it. I walked this far for nothing. He walked back to the fiesta and got his son and some guards. They followed the faint footprints. They were faint but still visible. Finally the group came to the plain. They saw the sword. But only this time there was a little red goblin next to it. Excuse me goblin may we have that sword? he asked nicely. Grummphh, he snorted. Umm I didn t hear you man, said the king First you must answer this riddle, said the goblin. Ok, we are ready, said the king. Here s the riddle: why did the juice box stop running? said the goblin. I think I know this riddle, said one of the guards. You must answer within 20 seconds. I remember! He ran out of juice! exclaimed the guard.
CORRECT! said the little red goblin. The king walked towards the sword and pulled. It came loose! Hurrah! shouted the king. The sword is free, yelled all the guards at once. They walked back to the city with happy faces. When they got back to the city the king when straight to the seed with the sword. He placed the sword in the empty spot of the seed Blaaaam there was a shimmer of light and the seed was finished! The king got on his megaphone and said, Great citizens of Wormopolis, the seed is finished! There were gasps, shouts, hurrahs, and more. Dig a hole so we can plant it, shouted the king. The city started to dig. In about 2 days the hole was big enough for the seed. The king gathered the towns strongest worm men and women. They all gathered around the seed. On three we pull 1 2 3 pull! They pulled with all their might. They pulled it to the edge of the hole and then They pushed it in the hole and Zaaaaam! A magical tree appeared. It was shiny gold with bright red apples and huge. All the branches were straight and had orange leaves on them. The whole city gasped. Wow, said a worm baby, it cwazy cwool. Legend says that if u eat the fruit you will be healed! screeched a random troll that just appeared. Weely? said a worm baby. Poof, suddenly a little leprechaun appeared and said, duh man. The king was thinking, Would it heal my pet butterfly
Duh man said the leprechaun. The king went back to his house and got his pet butterfly, and brought her to the tree. Eat the fruit! Come on already, said the king. He stuffed the fruit into the butterfly s mouth. The butterfly ate the fruit and she started glowing. Then when the glowing died down she was as good as new. THE END OF PART 1! Thank you for reading!
