A Father's Gift
Many years ago, my father found a rattlesnake lying in the middle of dirt road near his house. Assuming the snake was dead, he carefully placed it in a deep plastic open bucket. He then placed that in the cab of his pickup truck. Knowing a nearby neighbor often ate rattlesnake meat, he decided to surprise his friend. Imagine my father's shock when he heard the distinctive rattle coming from the bucket. Fortunately the snake could not scale the slippery sides of the container. Later my father gifted me with this story and the snake skin. What a remarkable man he was. I'm glad I could share this story with you!
