Mark Twain, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" (525)
- Read "The Celebrated Jumping Frog..."
- Twain is well known as a writer of Regionalism. Write a short story using Simon Wheeler's final sentence as your opening: "Well, thish-yer Smiley had a yaller one-eyed cow that didn't have no tail, only jest a short stump like a bannanner, and--" Try to mimic Twain's style in this story, particularly with the dialect and naming of characters (the dog was Andrew Jackson, the frog was Daniel Webster).
