Read this passage from “The Notorious Jumping Frog of Calaveras County.” Which is the most accurate Standard English translation of the dialect used by author? And the feller studied a minute, and then says, kinder sad like, "Well, I'm only a stranger here, and I ain't got no frog; but if I had a frog, I'd bet you." And the man studied the frog for a while, and then said, in a kindly voice, Well, I’m just a stranger here. I don’t have no frog. If I did have a frog, I’d bet on you.” And the guy studied a minute and then said, in a kind manner, “I’m a stranger in these parts and don’t have a frog. If I had a frog, I’d bet with you.” And the man thought for a minute and said sadly, “Well, I’m only a stranger here, and I don’t have a frog. But if I had a frog, I’d take that bet.” And the dude looked at the clock then cried, “As a stranger, I came without my frog. If I had it, I’d take you up on your bet.”
