How does ""The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County"" end? 1Points A Wheeler starts another Smiley story that the narrator does not stay to hear. B The narrator thanks Wheeler for the information about Leonidas Smiley. C Wheeler admits that he never met anyone named Leonidas Smiley. D Wheeler tells the narrator about the adventures of Smiley’s one-eyed cow.

In "The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County", by Mark Twain, the narrator makes the mistake of asking Simon Wheeler to tell him what he knows about a man called Leonidas Smiley. However, all Wheeler does is waste the narrator's time with a fantastic story about a man named Smiley who trained a frog to jump higher than any other frog in the county. It turns out that it was a friend of the narrator's who told him to go find Wheeler and ask him about Smiley. The narrator soon realizes it was all a prank - his friend knew Wheeler would only bore and annoy the narrator with his story. In the end, the narrator leaves without listening to the following story about the one-eyed cow:

[Here Simon Wheeler heard his name called from the front yard, and got up to see what was wanted.] And turning to me as he moved away, he said: "Just set where you are, stranger, and rest easy I an't going to be gone a second."

But, by your leave, I did not think that a continuation of the history of the enterprising vagabond Jim Smiley would be likely to afford me much information concerning the Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, and so I started away.

At the door I met the sociable Wheeler returning, and he button- holed me and recommenced:

"Well, thish-yer Smiley had a yeller one-eyed cow that didn't have no tail, only jest a short stump like a bannanner, and "

"Oh! hang Smiley and his afflicted cow!" I muttered, good-naturedly, and bidding the old gentleman good-day, I departed.
