Jem asked where I got the gum
I told him I found it
"Don't eat eat things you find"
"This wasn'ton the ground,
it was in a tree."
Jem growled
"It was sticking in the tree yonder"
"Spit it out right now!"
I spat it out.
The tang was fading anyway.
Jem stamped his foot
"You 're not even to touch the trees!"
"But you touched the house once!"
"That was different,You go gargle now."
"Ain't neither,
it'll take the taste outa my mouth"
"You dont't and I'll tell Cal on you"
I didn't want a tangle with her.
