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.

You saved a bird by giving it first- aid. Now the bird is out of danger. Write a diary entry
miskamm [114]

Answer:

<em>Saturday, June 18th 2022</em>

As I was taking my daily walk through the park, I saw a baby bird stumbling as it tried to get up and fly. I assumed that it had fallen out of his nest in the tree above. It looked so pitiful as it tried to fly again. It broke my heart. As I picked the baby bird up to examine why he couldn't fly, there I saw it. He had broken his wing. Carefully I took him home and showed my mother the bird, and she helped me patch up its wing. Tomorrow my mother and I will be taking him to the vet to make sure he gets the proper care he needs and is fully out of danger. We named him Bob.
