When I was about 13 (1961) I had a bud and he got an "allowance"> Really? Well we were into catching frogs, lizards, turtles and an occasional snake. We had gone down to the creek and then went thru the woods away. I stepped over a stump and there coiled up and asleep was a small timber rattler. Well I catch him and put hm in a cloth bag. My snake and lizard bag. He was small, about 1 1/2 ft or so. My bud really wanted him bad, and I remembered this kid' allowance and he was sold to him for $5. That was a fortune for me. The bag was free.
