In this story, brother earthworm laments the fact that he is so weak and defenseless. He wants to be big and strong. And just like in a lot of folk tales, who can make you strong? Yes, the Devil. So brother Earthworm grows big and powerful. This scares brother Rabbit. If only brother Rabbit hadn\'t fought with brother Elephant, he could have him help fight the worm. Oh well, I think he will come up with something.
