How to Eat Fried Worms Page #3

Like he was testing me.

Why are you

looking at that?

Joe Guire told me to.

"Find out about worms,"

he said.

That's what they

look like inside?

Yeah.

They have brains.

No eyes.

They're blind.

And look, five hearts.

And look at this

interesting detail.

- Sphincter.

- That's the worm's butt.

- Sphincter.

- Sphincter.

- Sphincter.

- Sphincter sphincter sphincter!

Stop, you guys!

I have to eat one.

I have to eat 10.

- Sphincter.

- Sphincter.

- Sphincter. Sphincter.

- Sphincter. Sphincter.

- Sphincter.

- Boys...

"How the Ancient Egyptians

Preserved their Dead."

Fascinating topic, boys.

Fascinating.

The mystery of the Sphinx.

Excellent, excellent.

And on your recess too.

Oh, you're to be commended.

Carry on.

- Oh, that was close.

- Yeah.

Excellent, excellent, boys!

Fascinating.

And on your recess too!

The lost sphincter

of the Sphinx.

The lost

sphincter of the Sphinx.

The lost sphinc...

You guys are friends

with this guy,

who's gonna be barfing

his guts out tomorrow?

Donny, get over here.

You're not his friend.

He's Wormboy.

He doesn't have any friends.

- Bradley.

- Right here, Joe.

Tell him the new rule.

All 10 worms must

be eaten by 7:
00 P.M.

Or you lose. And Bradley

is the official timekeeper.

Why do you make

all the rules?

Because...

he just does.

You won't even

make it to 7:
00.

'Cause we're making

the worms taste bad.

Like they already don't?

Yeah, shut up, Twitch!

You too, Techno Mouth.

Benjy...

Benjy is the official

worm cook.

You're gonna cook the worms?

I'm thinking up some

disgusting recipes.

You're the one that said

you like them fried, Wormboy.

We're making the worms

taste nasty.

I see you, so quit hiding.

Just on my way home

and I thought you

might want to know

I might be

leaving this place.

- Is your family moving again?

- No.

Just me.

Is this all because you threw

a worm in Joe Guire's face?

That was really dumb!

Really dumb, wasn't it?

I loved it.

- You loved it?

- Yup, I loved it.

Whoa, you're good.

Thank you.

- Say I knew.

- Knew what?

- About the bet.

- You can't know, you're a girl.

Say I did though.

Say I also know you've never

eaten a worm in your whole life.

- How would you know that?

- Because... why would you?

Did you know

it was tomorrow?

And can I tell

you something?

What?

I have a really

weak stomach.

Really weak.

There are a lot

of foods I can't eat.

Then why'd you make the stupid

bet in the first place?

I don't know.

I was just trying to go to school

and be a normal person.

Normal people

don't eat worms, Billy.

- Hey, Mom.

- Hey, what do you think?

I'm naked.

All right, come on,

we're going out.

- Where?
