Arya's COVID 19 Adventure

It was a sunny morning in July when Arya arrived in Antigonish. She stepped off the doorstep and dashed across the gravel parking lot, As she pranced across the soil she could hear a low voice say, "Hey, watch where you are walking, you almost stepped on me!" Arya stopped instantly, glanced furtively and replied, " Sorry, I did not see you. Where are you and what's more important, who are you?" She looked down and all around but all she could see was a hole in the ground. She first sniffed the hole and then sat observing as little Wilbur, an earthworm, popped up out of the hole. "I'm Wilbur, distant cousin of Wally the red worm, who lives in Bolton at Karl Pretty's recycle bin. I prefer soil, Wally eats banana peels, newspaper and lives in blue bin, or so I legend has it. Wally had a big adventure with a biologist, then dropped out of sight. We do not see him in these parts.
