Found a fascinating difference between two editions of the same story : "Private History of the ‘Jumping Frog’ Story”

In the Archive.org <https://archive.org/details/howtotellastory00twairich/page/n159> version of 
How to tell a story : and other essays <https://archive.org/details/howtotellastory00twairich/page/n159>

https://archive.org/details/howtotellastory00twairich/page/n159

the phrase reads:
"One was the smartness of its hero, Jim Smiley, in taking the stranger in with a loaded frog; and the other was Smiley’s deep knowledge of a frog’s nature-"

++++++++++++++++++++++++

In another version: <https://books.googleusercontent.com/books/content?req=AKW5QacJ48C0VvSaaNQMK6iMJAL0F9sUdLHEzPnV8bLdQqHHXI5eOh5O8Ak-M23_Y5cQFvShQAEUaZXCvGkm581XdAlFLzwJVx97BT-1M_JCLvZnCd5D29WPTBcRWhX070-yFb5hLZyeNva-ixHeJKxMH5te4lQBjtm0XIjXhlIru-E_eoMYp9zthFWsmccfvPdQ7HBcvBbfrO2LDxiIkwRKsZABahtgfBcQDwtCMB0ClszThO4pIOPV8D9QE6FcYvl3ko0jCXsupzq-BqVT9vhH_rggvfRo0p9U3t6knFw2_Q2bXPM8-ug> 

p.122 of the Author’s National Edition (Volume XXII) <https://books.googleusercontent.com/books/content?req=AKW5QacJ48C0VvSaaNQMK6iMJAL0F9sUdLHEzPnV8bLdQqHHXI5eOh5O8Ak-M23_Y5cQFvShQAEUaZXCvGkm581XdAlFLzwJVx97BT-1M_JCLvZnCd5D29WPTBcRWhX070-yFb5hLZyeNva-ixHeJKxMH5te4lQBjtm0XIjXhlIru-E_eoMYp9zthFWsmccfvPdQ7HBcvBbfrO2LDxiIkwRKsZABahtgfBcQDwtCMB0ClszThO4pIOPV8D9QE6FcYvl3ko0jCXsupzq-BqVT9vhH_rggvfRo0p9U3t6knFw2_Q2bXPM8-ug>

the phrase reads:
“One was the smartness of the stranger in taking in its hero, Jim Smiley, with a loaded frog; and the other was the stranger’s deep knowledge of a frog’s nature-"


Anyone know how this got flipped????
