Kids always want Joe Hayes to tell The Gum-Chewing Rattler. And why not? It combines so many things kids love to do-chew bubble gum, tell tall tales, and drive their moms crazy-with the wild, impossible claim that a rattlesnake chewed gum and blew a bubble with it!
You see, when Joe was a boy, that's what he told his mother-that bubble gum saved him from a rattlesnake's fangs! Really! Don't worry-Joe's mother didn't believe him either.
