He is lucky and almost always wins his bets.
FYI - Simon Wheeler does not suggest to the stranger that they bet on his frog. Simon Wheeler is the one telling the story about Jim Smiley and his frog Dan'l Webster. Dan'l Webster is the frog that is a great jumper so it's a good bet. However, the stranger fills Dan'l Webster with shot so he can't jump high and Smiley loses the bet.
This poem written by Diane Glancy, reflects her Native American heritage. Her father, a Cherokee man is the main character for the poem. She portrays the conflict between his native american identity and the westernized world in which he lives. The author implies that despite living disconnected from his traditions and working packing meat, her father remains Cherokee.
The author's feelings towards her father seem to be of love, respect and sadness. I find the poem nostalgic, and there seems to be a sense of being out of place in this world.
The conflict between her parents seems to fit the idea of the poem. Her father brings home hide and horns from work (representing his heritage), and her (western) mother rejects this. The author is just an observer in this poem.
The hide and horns are important, since some native americans relied heavily on the hide, meat and everything else provided by buffalos, which is also a theme in the poem.

Both these sonnects have a symbol of beauty as something unpleasant, because it is a tool to manipulate with other's hearts and minds. But still, the main idea of both works is affection of this beauty. Both authors point out that beauty can be cruel and unfair, but they can't resist their feelings.</span>
