What Stumped the Blue Jays

Written by Mark Twain

Narrated by Elaine Hidayat

In this Mark Twain’s "What Stumped the Blue Jays", he writes about a blue jay that comes across a mystery. He came across a loghouse and was struck by it. He accidentally dropped an acorn that he had on his mouth into a hole. The perplexing confusion occurs when the sound of the acorn falling did not appear, leading to him asking for help from other blue jays. None of the blue jays were able to hear any noise, the more they have acorns inserted into the strange hole the more confused they became, as there were no sound of the acorns falling.

In this story, Twain is signifying that the blue jays are actually humans, and are very similar in their approaches in dealing with a funny situation.

Mark Twain

Mark Twain, who was born Samuel L. Clemens in Missouri in 1835, wrote some of the most enduring works of literature in the English language, including The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc was his last completed book—and, by his own estimate, his best. Its acquisition by Harper & Brothers allowed Twain to stave off bankruptcy. He died in 1910.
