When the old man sits on the gum

Explanation:

Climax is the turning point and the most intense point in a story. To decide where the climax of a story takes place, always look at when we know the outcome of the main conflict. The climax usually occurs just before this. It usually involves an important event, decision, or discovery that affects the final outcome of the story.

So now we look at the story and find out what the climax is.

The answer is: when the old man sits on the gum. That is because the most intense part in the story is when everybody keeps getting stuck to the gum. And the old man started by placing the gum that he got stuck to on the ground.
