The cow overhears this and offers her services as his new worm ("I'm from Texas," she says to explain her large size). Oscar reminds her that worms don't talk and move about by squirming. The cow silences herself and contorts herself to move like a worm. She then tries to burrow into the concrete sidewalk, but Oscar tells her that Slimey usually burrows into a pot of dirt, which he'll then eat. This is enough to drive the cow to seek employment elsewhere, though Oscar admits he liked "that big worm." |
