The power of the little guy to bring down the big.

Yep, the little guy is back again. But this time he's not a turtle with a gas problems. This time he's a wily old worm with a great sense of humor.

In the end, this is a classic brains over brawns story, structured much more in the vein of David and Goliath and other folktales than "Yertle." Because the thing about the people on the top is that they're often so obsessed with (1) doing whatever they can to stay on top, and (2) injecting themselves with external validation to fill an internal hole that will never be filled with external validation…

And so, these folks become totally blind to what's happening beneath them. They don't care much about how they might be oppressing or simply annoying the little guy. And they'll also fail to see that destruction comes from below—not above.
