In today's writing prompt, the word worm is used. Have you ever pondered how silly the word worm is? Have you ever wondered where the funny word came from?
Well, the word worm today means, a soft bodied, long, slender, bilateral, and sometimes slimy invertebrate (that means a worm has no back bone or spine). But, the word worm that we use today, stems from an Old English word wurm, which is a variant of the word wyrm, that was defined as a serpent, snake, dragon or reptile. Dragon? Well, that is fun! Who doesn't want a pet dragon?
So, the next time you and your friends are bored, dress up in your finest suit of armor, take up your spade (shovel), and go dig up some dragon lairs in the backyard!
NOTE: This is very important. Don't forget to ask mom or dad for permission before you dig. It is never fun for a knight to have the king and queen of the land mad at him or her for destroying gardens, greenery, buried phone, television or electrical lines (which can be dangerous), while hunting dragons. Be sure to ask where a safe spot is to hunt for your dragons. Then, make sure once you find your dragon lair and retrieve your dragon, that you fill back in your hole with dirt so nobody falls in and is never seen again, or has to go to the doctor for a sprained or broken body part because they tripped in the hole. All will be hunky dory in the kingdom if you remember this very important decree. Happy dragon hunting!
