Quote: THE WORM TURNS - "Someone previously downtrodden gets his revenge; an unfavorable situation is reversed. The saying represents an evolution of the old proverb, 'Tread on a worm and it will turn.' The meaning was that even the most humble creature tries to counteract rough treatment. Shakespeare picked up the thought in Henry VI, Part 3, where Lord Clifford urges the king against 'lenity and harmful pity, saying: To whom do lions cast their gentle looks? Not to the beast that would usurp their den. The smallest worm will turn being trodden on, And doves will peck in safeguard of their brood.'" "The Dictionary of Cliches" by James Rogers (Ballantine Books, New York, 1985).

If you mean in English, you spelled it correctly in your question, if you mean a creature that has no legs, called a worm. If you meant "warm" instead, as in a temperature, it is spelled warm. If you mean in another language, you need to put the name of the language in your question.
