#4 I think it has made a connection with doing its dance and getting the human to feed it.
Funnily enough, as kids of about 5 or 6, a group of us were playing one of those kid's games where you danced in a ring, singing. Suddenly loads of earthworms started to come up in the ring. We all totally thought we had magical powers.
At home later my uncle, who was well-read about the natural world, explained how the worms came up because the vibrations were like rain and so they didn't drown. I remember being a little disappointed it wasn't magic, but it was softened when he explained how birds learned to do it to fool the worms and eat them, and I thought that was really cool.
It is one of the few memories I have of that age.
