Dear teacher,
Recently, I read this paragraph in the story 'The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County':
Smiley always come out the winner on that dog, at least until he found a dog once that did not have any back legs. The dog's legs had been cut off in a machine. Well, the fighting continued long enough, and the money was gone. Then when Smiley's dog come to make a grab the other dog's back legs, he saw in a minute how there was a problem.
I have a few questions in it:
1. Here, I wonder what is meaning of "come out ".
2. The sentence "The dog's legs had been cut off in a machine. " what is it related to its context?
3. Why did writer refer to 'the money was gone' here?
4. "He" stands for Smiley or for his dog in this sentence "he saw in a minute how there was a problem."?
