“The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” is one of Mark Twain’s figurative stories. It’s about an infamous character, Jim smiley, an incurable gambler.
Jim Smiley is described as being extremely curious and would bet on anything that turned up provided he could get someone to bet against him. By all means, he had to place a bet and for inexplicable reasons he was lucky as he most always came out a winner.
