nFornsome (possibly strange) reason, Frog Jumping Day is celebrated everynMay 13th. This holiday is supposed to be connected to thenstory that first made Mark Twain a famous writer: “The CelebratednJumping Frog of Calaveras County”—but the date doesn’t seem tonhave anything to do with the story or Twain…Hmm.
