In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, why is Simon Wheeler so eager to suggest to the stranger that

they bet on his frog? He is desparate and wants to earn some money to buy food. He is polite and wants to show the stranger a good time. He is lucky and almost always wins his bets. He is sneaky and wants to cheat the stranger out of some money.

He is lucky and almost always wins his bets.

FYI - Simon Wheeler does not suggest to the stranger that they bet on his frog. Simon Wheeler is the one telling the story about Jim Smiley and his frog Dan'l Webster. Dan'l Webster is the frog that is a great jumper so it's a good bet. However, the stranger fills Dan'l Webster with shot so he can't jump high and Smiley loses the bet.

Some people in fashion think that clothing expresses perfectly the ideas of the maker. Others believe it exactly represents the point of view of the wearer. Like art, fashion reflects well the vision of the artist using the wearer as a living canvas. As a mode of self-expression, fashion can reflect the personal ideologies, values, and affiliations of the wearer. Some exception pieces of clothing are more unique than the clothing seen in a tradition fashion runway. There are various awards and gallery shows that recognize brightly artists who create conceptual pieces of well, wearable art.
