Gay Spike, age 10, of Wichita, for a question:

What does the worm in a jumping bean eat?

The little grub who lives in a jumping bean is just about as snug , and comfortable as he can be. The bean is his home and also his pantry. "Then he tests hungry, he just nibbles at the walls. As the bean grows, he grows. When he bets ready to become a pupas he nibbles a paper thin wall at one end of his bean house, when the pupa sleep is over he pushes his way out of this mall and takes to the a it as a little brown moth.

If it were not for one thing; we would never know that the little follow was there, snug as a bud inside his beany house, Once in a while he has to take a little exercise. His quarters are rather cramped, so he does this by coiling up like a spring and jerkin; out straight. The bean moves when he does these setting up exercises,
