In the story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" by Mark Twain, the outcome of the contest between Smiley's frog and the stranger's frog is that the stranger's frog wins because it has been secretly filled with lead pellets, making it unable to jump. This results in Smiley losing the bet and the stranger leaving with the winnings.
