Yes, a worm. While dissecting a work in the third grade MIGHT have been
traumatic, it probably wouldn't have been on vegetarian grounds.

I got free AOL for a while volunteering on the Homework Help area, in the

get.Many involved dissecting works that were perfectly fine without being
dissected, thank you.
