The short story, “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County,” was the first publication of an unknown American writer (of that time), Mark Twain, in a famous magazine.
Mark Twain dedicated his story to one of the good-natured eccentrics. The idea of the story was that a world without eccentrics would be terribly boring.
The quote from the story “... all a frog wanted was education, and he could do most anything ... “ carries a humanistic and also deep meaning.
