Question

I need to know as fast as possible PLEASE!!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, Mark Twain wrote "The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," but it's not a book. It's a short story. You may be able to find it in a collection of short stories, or try searching for it on a search engine.

Answer 2

It's not a book. It's a short story. The title is probably "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County". You can find it in collections of Mark Twain's short stories. It is a study in irony. You never learn about the frog, and neither does the person who is telling the story.

Answer 3

"The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" is a short story by Mark Twain. It was also published as "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and "Jim Smiley and His Jumping Frog". In it, Twain retells a story he heard from a bartender at the Angels Hotel in Angels Camp, California, about the hopeless gambler Jim Smiley. Twain describes him: "If he even seen a straddle bug start to go anywheres, he would bet you how long it would take him to get to--to wherever he going to, and if you took him up, he would foller that straddle bug to Mexico but what he would find out where he was bound for and how long he was on the road."

Answer 4

It's only a short story, but you have the right title and author. Basically, two guys have a contest to see whose frog can jump higher, and, due to cheating, the champion frog is filled full of gun shot and the other guy wins.

Answer 6

It was a short story, not a novel, but I forgot what it was about, so it did not make a huge impression on me, some 45 years ago.
