A Modern Tale Regarding Alcohol and Worms

Satinder Dhiman

Chapter 4.1 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 145-146 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A speaker stood before a group of alcoholics determined to demonstrate to them, once and for all, that alcohol was an evil beyond compare. On the platform he had what appeared to be two identical containers of clear fluid. He announced that one contained pure water and the other undiluted alcohol. He placed a small worm in the container with water; while everyone watched, it swam around and headed for the side of the glass, whereupon it simply crawled to the top of the glass. He then took the same worm and placed it in the container with alcohol. The worm disintegrated right before their eyes.
