This poem demonstrates that rivers exist in dry places such as deserts. Indeed, it is stated that these rivers are likely to be "mightier than the Voltas." The only difference between them and regular rivers is that they are hidden from human eyes. Because they are underground, they do not dry out because they are protected from the sun and wind.

The finishing point constructed by Twain is: when the old man is about to finish the story of Jim Smiley's jumping frog, another individual interrupts him. The narrator tries to leave the place, but the old man reaches it. The story ends with the old man who starts telling the narrator about a yellow cow with only one eye of Jim Smiley.
