How does soil help me keep my cool?

When
the soil is cool,
I'm cool. If the temperature gets too
cool, I can dig deeper to find a warm place to slither and snooze. But
when the temperature is too hot, I don't feel so hot. In fact, if I get
too hot, I'll dry up like a piece of old beef jerky. So, on really hot
days, I look for a cool spot in the soil and coil myself up to keep cool
and stay moist.
