Answer:

he paragraph I'm choosing is this one (the words in bold are colloquial words):

"Well, thish-yer Smiley had rat-ta.rriers, and chicken co.cks, and tom- cats, and all of them kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He ketp.hed a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'k.lated to ed.ercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little pun.ch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

"Rewritten form of those bolded words only:

"Well, this here Smiley had rat tarriers, and chicken co-cks, and tomcats, and all of the kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He caught a frog one day, and took him home, and said he calculated to eradicate him, and so he never done anything for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "
