He barely spoke.

The other four-footeds removed them.

When they were done, Wolf sat down.

That's why those shoes hurt me, because they were too small."

Right there the rabbit fell down, knowing that the wolf had learned nothing.

That's the reason the wolf walks around alone.

Wolf still pretends he knows everything.

When you go for a walk in the woods, what do you look at?
ᎠᏙᎯ ᏱᏤᏙᎳ, ᏙᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎭᎦᏙᏍᏙᎢ?
Trees?

When Asmeret Asefaw Berhe goes for a walk in the woods, she looks at all these things.

But she also looks at something you might not notice -- soil.

Scientists study the natural world.
ᎠᏂᎦᏔᎲᏍᎩ ᏳᏂᎪᎵᏯᎠ ᏂᎬᏩᏍᏛ ᎡᎶᎯ.
Asmeret is a soil scientist.

It also comes from dead organisms.
ᎡᎾᎢ ᎤᎵᏬᏨ ᏓᏳᏓᎴᏅ.
The dead organisms decompose.
ᎡᎾᎢ ᎤᎵᏬᏨ ᎠᎪᏍᎪᎢ.
That means they break down into smaller and smaller pieces.
ᏍᎩᎾᏃ ᎢᏳᏍᏗ ᎠᏲᏟᎨ ᏓᏲᎪ.
Then they become part of the soil.
ᏃᏗ ᎦᏙ ᏩᏓᏑᏴᎥᏍᎦ.
Water and air mix with these things are part of the soil, too.

The rocks, the leaves and wood and even the animals could become soil someday.

When organisms decompose, they make rich soil.

Rich soil has lots of nutrients.

Where is the rest of the snake?

One day the bones will be soil, too.
ᎯᎸᎢᏴ ᎦᏓ ᎨᏎᏍᏗ ᏧᎪᎳ ᏍᏉ.
The nutrients from the snake are becoming part of the soil.

But how do dead plants and animals become soil?
ᎦᏙᏃ ᎦᏓ ᏥᎾᎾᎵᏍᏗ ᏅᎩ ᏗᏂᏅᏌᏓ ᏃᎴ ᎠᏤ ᎡᎾᎢ?
Other organisms make them into soil.
ᎠᏂᏐᎢ ᎡᎾᎢ ᏂᏓᏅᏁ ᎦᏓ.
These organisms are called decomposers.
ᏍᎩᎾᎾ ᎡᎾᎢ ᎤᎪᏏᏓ ᎢᏯᏅᏁ ᏓᏃᏎᎰ.
Decomposers break dead things down into soil.

Today it is sunny outside.
ᎠᎦᎵᎭ ᎪᎯ ᎢᎦ.
Asmeret wonders if we will find many decomposers.
ᎠᎵᏰᎾ ᎮᎵᎠ ᏓᏓᏗᏩᏛᎯᏍᎪᏃ ᎤᎪᏏᏓ ᎢᏗᏅᏁ.
Most decomposers live in wet and dark places.
ᎦᏓᏁᏍᏛ ᏃᎴ ᎤᎵᏏᎬ ᎠᏁᎰ ᎤᎪᏏᏓ ᎢᏗᏅᏁ.
On a hot day like this, Asmeret looks for decomposers under leaves and logs.
ᎤᏗᎴᎩ ᏱᎩ ᎯᎠ ᏥᏄᏍᏗ, ᏧᏆᎶᎦ ᏃᎴ ᏗᏒᏆᎶᎩ ᎭᏫᏂᏣ ᏚᏲᎰ ᎤᎪᏏᏓ ᎢᏗᏅᏁ.
It's wet and dark there.

Asmeret has found some decomposers under a log!
ᏒᏆᎶᏍᏗ ᎭᏫᏂᏣ ᏓᏩᏔ ᎤᎪᏏᏓ ᎢᏗᏅᏁ ᎠᎵᏰᎾ!
They are millipedes.
ᎠᏓᎴᏴᏗᏍᎩ.
Millipedes eat dead plants and then leave droppings on the ground.
ᎠᏤ ᎡᎾᎢ ᎠᏂᎩᏍᎪ ᏃᎴ ᏧᎾᏗᎩᏓ ᏓᏂᎯᏯᏍᎪ ᎦᏙᎯ.
The droppings help make new soil.
ᏧᎾᏗᎩᏓ ᎠᏓᏍᏕᎵ ᎠᏤ ᎦᏓ ᎾᏅᏁ.
Asmeret carefully puts the log back the way she found it.
ᎤᎵᏏᏅᏗ ᏩᏗᎦ ᎠᏒᏆᎶᏍᏗ ᎠᎵᏰᎾ, ᏥᏄᏍᏛᎩ ᎤᏩᏛᎲ.
This helps keep it wet and dark under the log.
ᎠᏍᏕᎵᎭ ᎦᏓᏁ ᏃᎴ ᎤᎵᏏᎩ ᎤᏳᏓᏍᏙᏗ ᎠᏒᏆᎶᏍᏗ ᎭᏫᏂᏣ.
Then organisms like millipedes can still live there.
