Slippery worm

/Once upon a time, there was a worm who loved to slide down the bark of a tree. However, no matter how hard it tried, it couldn't slide down the bark without getting stuck.

One day, the worm decided to ask its friend, a snail, for advice. The snail thought for a moment and then suggested, "Why don't you put some oil on yourself? It will reduce the friction, and you'll be able to slide down the tree with ease."

The worm thought it was a brilliant idea and thanked the snail for the suggestion. It then went to the kitchen and found a bottle of oil. After applying a generous amount on its body, the worm was excited to try out its new slippery skin.

But as soon as it started sliding down the tree, it realized that it had made a grave mistake. The oil had made it too slippery, and the worm was now sliding down the tree uncontrollably, unable to stop.

The worm's ride finally came to a halt as it landed in a pile of leaves at the bottom of the tree. It was dizzy and disoriented, but surprisingly unharmed. The snail, who had witnessed the whole thing, couldn't help but chuckle at the worm's silly mistake.
