世界各地都有蚯蚓,它们有助于建造世界,有助于土地里长出人类所需的粮食。你觉得这种说法奇怪吗?

现在,让我们来看看蚯蚓是怎么做到这些的吧。蚯蚓在地下生存,它们在地下钻来钻去,把泥土钻成一条条蜿蜒绵长的孔道,如同街道一般。那些“长廊”或者“隧道”可以使泥土疏松,从而有利于植物的根部生长。

这些孔道也有助于空气轻易地进入泥土。蚯蚓在泥土里不停地钻来钻去,就如同人们在地面上用耙子、铲或犁松土一样。

蚯蚓首要的工作还是使土壤更加肥沃。当它们建造房子的时候,总是让自己长长的身体里装满泥土,并把它带到地上,堆成小堆,这就是人们所称的蚯蚓粪。每天早上或下雨之后,你都可以在花园的小径上发现蚯蚓粪。

每年都有成千上万的蚯蚓在忙碌着,它们可以挖动数以吨计的泥土。它们用嘴使泥土疏松并使之变得肥沃。那些本来硬如坚石的土壤,?它们钻动之后就变得肥沃而精细了。

“书籍是年轻人的向导,老年人的消遣。它帮助我们排解孤寂,摆脱精神负担。”

——杰里米·柯里尔

“世间唯一真正平等待人的是书籍,唯一开放的来者不拒的宝库是图书馆。”

——兰格弗博士

也许世间再也没有什么比书籍的力量更强大的了:它使穷人摆脱贫困,使悲惨者脱离苦海,使负荷者无视沉重,使病人忘却痛苦,使伤心的人抛开忧愁,使受压迫者忘掉屈辱。书籍是孤独者的朋友,被遗弃者的伴侣,无趣者的欢乐,绝望者的希冀,沮丧者的兴奋剂,无助者的帮手。它们给黑暗带来光明,给阴影带来绚烂。

我们可能卑微,被社会遗忘,没有机会与那些大人物和上流人士交往。但是,在书中——这个世界上最美好的社会——我们可以住在宫殿,同王子交谈,熟悉所有王室成员,始终与最伟大、最高尚的人往来。
