Explanation:
Mark Twain's short story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" revolves around the story of how an effort to track down a man named Leonidas W. Smiley led to one incredulous story about an 'intelligent' frog. The story is a humorous yet interesting story about integrity and the feeling of community.
When the unnamed narrator first tracked Simon Wheeler to ask about Smiley, he got sidetracked into listening to a story about a celebrated frog named "<em>Dan'l Webster"</em>. The frog could 'outjump' any frog in the whole county, or that's what the owner Jim Smiley insisted. But by the end of the story, the narrator realized that this Smiley had nothing to do with the Smiley he was looking for.
