In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County," the stranger cheats Smiley by substituting his frog, named Dan'l Webster, with a weight-filled frog. When Smiley isn't looking, the stranger fills Dan'l Webster's mouth with quail shot, making it too heavy to jump. When the bet is placed, Smiley's frog fails to jump, resulting in Smiley losing the wager. This clever trick highlights the themes of deception and gullibility in the story.
