I suppose the story in question is "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Cavaleras County".

Its main point is a humorous anecdote about an encounter between the narrator and a talkative man who tells him a seemingly pointless story. However, the social undercurrent can't be ignored. First of all, the narrator is an educated Easterner who came to the West to inquire about his friend's friend. He stumbles upon a Westerner, an uneducated guy who is a common worker. A clash of cultures happens, embodied in language differences between two interlocutors: Simon Wheeler talks in dialect, whereas the narrator has an elaborate and flamboyant style.

Eventually, Wheeler tricks the narrator into listening to his trivial story about the gambler Jim Smiley. The story is pointless - just like the narrator's visit itself. The two men, who epitomize two social classes, just can't get along. The winner of the conversation is Wheeler, who got to tell his story and kill some time. His simplicity, wit and common sense are something that the refined narrator doesn't have.

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
