Chewy's Sticky Mess!

Coco Jungle’s weekly art class was the place where every artist’s talent emerged.

Lately, however, there was one artist, Chewy Rhino, who had become infamous amongst the jungle for his antics! His real name was George, but since he chewed gum all day long, everyone started calling him Chewy!

“My brain just doesn’t work without chewing gum. If there is chewing gum, then there is focus!” said Chewy.

His art table was always piled high with paints, clay, brushes, glue and dozens of gum packets in various flavours. But the rest of the animals were tired of his sticky habit.

One day, Perry Peacock, who was known for his colourful feathers and glamorous style, came to class carrying a straw hat he had made himself. As soon as he placed it on his head, a loud pop echoed and something stuck to his hat.

“Oh no. What’s this stuck on my hat?” cried Perry.

“Oh, sorry brother. That must be my mint-flavoured gum. I must have flung it by mistake. I was trying to blow a balloon with it,” Chewy replied, laughing.

“One day that chewing gum will stick on you,” Perry cursed angrily, flapping his wings in frustration.

The next day, Mandy Flamingo arrived with a new hairstyle. “Look, my new feather curls, I just got them done at the spa yesterday.”

She was sculpting a clay statue when suddenly a loud pitch sound came from behind.

“Ouch. My feathers.”

Chewy’s gum had stuck straight into her feathers!
