| the celebrated jumping frog of calaveras county: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County Mark Twain, 1867 |
| the celebrated jumping frog of calaveras county: The Notorious Jumping Frog Of Calaveras County Mark Twain, The story goes something like this: Jim Smiley was a man who would bet on anything. He turned a frog into a pet and bet a stranger that his frog, Dan'l Webster, could jump higher than any other frog. While Smiley wasn't looking, the stranger filled Dan'l Webster with quail shot, and Smiley lost the bet. By Mark Twain, the story poses a moral distinction between honest and dishonest cleverness. It also shows that you don't necessarily have to be educated and well spoken to be clever, nor is a good education a defense against getting fooled. |

AS many will remember, the clipper-ship Hornet, of New York, was burned at sea on her passage to San Francisco. The disaster occurred in lat, 2 20' north, long. 112 6' west After being forty-three days adrift on the broad Pacific in open boats, the crew and passengers succeeded in making Hawaii. A tribute to the courage and brave endurance of these men has been paid in a letter detailing their sufferings (the particulars being gathered from their own lips), from which the following excerpt is made: -- On Monday, the thirty-eighth day after the disaster, we had nothing left, said the third mate, but a pound and a half of ham--the bone was a good deal the heaviest part of it--and one soup- andbully tin. These things were divided among the fifteen men, and they ate it--two ounces of food to each man. I do not count the ham-bone, as that was saved for next day. For some time, now, the poor wretches had been cutting their old boots into small pieces and eating them. They would also pound wet rags to a sort of pulp and eat them. On the thirty-ninth day the ham-bone was divided up into rations, and scraped with knives and eaten. I said, You say the two sick men remained sick all through, and after a while two or three had to be relieved from standing watch; bow did you get along without medicines? The reply was, Oh! we couldn't have kept them if we'd had them; if we'd had boxes of pills, or anything like that, we'd have eaten them. It was just as well--we couldn't have kept them, and we couldn't have given them to the sick men alone --we'd have shared them around all alike, I guess. It was said rather in jest, but it was a pretty true jest, no doubt. After apportioning the ham-bone, the captain... |
| the celebrated jumping frog of calaveras county: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County ANNOTATED Mark Twain, 2021-04-14 The narrator visits Simon Wheeler in a tavern in Angel's Camp, Calaveras County, California, a gold rush mining town. He calls on Wheeler at the request of his friend from back East to ask after the Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley. He finds Simon Wheeler dozing by the stove and describes him as old, fat, simple, and gentle. As Wheeler backs the narrator into a corner and launches into a series of tall tales about a completely different man named Jim Smiley, the narrator suspects that his friend made up Leonidas as a pretext to entrap him into listening to Wheeler's long and tedious stories.Wheeler's story within the story commences, all about a gambler named Jim Smiley. Jim Smiley would bet on anything. He was a lucky man who almost always won. He bet on dog fights, horse races, and even the ill health of the parson's wife. Smiley trained animals to win bets for him. Both his horse, the fifteen-minute nag, and his dog, Andrew Jackson, didn't seem like much, but would surprisingly win in the end. Andrew Jackson had a trick during a fight of catching the other dog's back legs in his mouth tenaciously. This worked until he fought a dog that didn't have back legs. When Andrew Jackson didn't know what to do, he looked heartbrokenly at Smiley and died. Wheeler comments that the dog probably had some genius and talent in him, since he managed to come out on top despite lack of opportunities.Smiley caught a frog, named him Dan'l Webster, and took him home to educate him. For the next three months, he did nothing but teach the frog. It could turn somersaults in the air and catch flies on command. Dan'l Webster's specialty was to jump higher than any other frog around. Despite his many gifts, he was modest and straight-forward. Jim Smiley kept Dan'l Webster in a box and would occasionally fetch him for a bet.One day, a stranger in the camp asks Smiley what's in the box. Smiley responds indifferently that it could be other animals, but it's a frog. The stranger examines the box and asks what the frog is good for. Smiley replies casually that he can outjump any frog in Calaveras County. The stranger replies that he doesn't see anything unique about that frog. Smiley says, May be you understand frogs, and may be you don't understand 'em; may be you've had experience, and may be you an't only a amature, as it were. Anyways, I've got my opinion, and I'll risk forty dollars that he can outjump any frog in Calaveras county.The stranger thinks about it, and then says that if he had a frog, he would take the bet. Smiley offers to catch him a frog, and hands the box with Dan'l Webster to the stranger. While Smiley is out, the stranger takes Dan'l out of his box, opens his mouth, and fills him with quail shot. Then he sets him on the floor. Smiley comes back from the swamp with a frog and gives him to the stranger. They set the frogs side-by-side with even fore-paws. Smiley calls One two three jump! and they each touch their frogs from behind. The new frog hops off. Dan'l Webster tries to jump but can't budge. Smiley is surprised, disgusted, and confused. The stranger takes the money and starts away, and as he's leaving repeats what he said earlier about not seeing anything special about Dan'l Webster. Smiley scratches his head, stares at his frog, and wonders aloud what happened. He's concerned that there's something the matter with Dan'l Webster, as he looks mighty baggy, somehow. He picks up the frog and exclaims that he weighs five pounds! When he turns Dan'l Webster upside down, Dan'l belches out a double handful of shot. Smiley realizes that he has been swindled, and runs after the stranger angrily, but fails to catch him.Simon Wheeler's story gets cut off when he hears his name called from the front yard and goes out. He tells the narrator to wait, he won't be long..... |

| the celebrated jumping frog of calaveras county: Celebrated Jumping Frog from Calaveras County Mark Twain, 2014-02-01 Our narrator is sent on an errand to visit an old man, Simon Wheeler, to find an old acquaintance of his. This is clearly a joke, because once our narrator gets there and asks about the acquaintance, Wheeler immediately begins to tell a long, boring, droll story about Jim Smiley. Jim Smiley is addicted to gambling. He bets on anything from the death of Parson Walker's wife to fights between his bulldog pup, Andrew Jackson, and other dogs. One day, a stranger to the town agrees to bet on a frog jumping higher than Jim's frog, Dan'l Webster - is his bet wise? Mark Twain was a master of the short story form and his writing is a perfect suit for being read aloud. |
| the celebrated jumping frog of calaveras county: The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County & Other Stories Mark Twain, 2018-11 The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is one of the most beloved of Mark Twain's tales. Notable for the shaggy-dog quality of the story-within-the-story, this early work of humorous short prose was Twain's first big success as a writer. Seeking someone named Smiley, a man comes to a mining camp and meets a fellow who tells him of another Smiley, an inveterate betting man. One day, this Smiley caught a frog and trained it to out-jump any other frog; but when a stranger appeared at the camp, Smiley's famed gambling skills were tested severely ... This volume also includes two other Twain gems: The Million-Pound Bank Note, in which a down-and-out American in London is challenged by two rich men to survive with only a rare million-pound bill to his name; and Luck, which tells of both a great hero of the Crimean War and the only man who knows how he attained such a status. |
