Edgar the rat is alone and that is the way he likes it. Every animal on the farm knows it's best just to leave him be. Then one day an earthworm starts following him around. Edgar is angry! He wants to be alone! He tries to outrun the worm, out swim it, even asks the other animals to help him, but that worm just won't leave.
