The Jumping Frog by Mark Twain



Why does this frog like jumping so much? Read through this short story written by Mark Twain and try to explain what the jumping is about. You can also use this web page.




















Now you need to comment on the typical bets and races that people used to do at that time. You'd better explain this kind of gambling and then give your opinion about them.







Why was Smiley so proud of his frog? To answer this question, you need to read through the story and think about the reasons why. You can also use this web page.

  1. Why does this frog like jumping so much?

    Because Smiley (the trainer’s frog) taught his frog to jump far.
    Daniel Webster can also fly into the air with Smiley’s helps who push from behind and the frog flew in the air. Daniel Webster won the competition of Calaveras County.

    This was written by : Seila, Andreia Zeltia, Milena Pilar.

  2. Thank you for your comments. You're all right, but why don't you support your opinion with some examples? perhaps something about what this jumping game is about.
