“If you can get that worm back in that hole I’ll give you ten dollars,” said Josh.
His grandson sat and thought for a moment, then rushed into the house.
A few minutes later he returned with his mother’s hair spray.
He picked up the worm by one end and, as he let it hang down, he sprayed it all over with the hair spray.
The spray set and the worm became stiff and hard.
It was now easy to push the worm back in the hole.
Josh was amazed.
He gave the boy ten dollars, picked up the hair spray and went indoors.
About an hour later Josh came back into the garden and gave his grand-son another ten dollars.
“But grandpa,” said the boy, “you’ve already given me the ten dollars you promised.”
“That’s from your grandma,” said Josh.
