Benjamin FranklinIn History today, I had to read about Benjamin Franklin. Now, i have to write a story with five facts about benjamin Franklin that i learned today. Ben was the youngest son in his family. He had sixteen brothers and sisters. His father made candles, so he wasn;t ricjh and couldn't send all of his kids to school. He knew that ben was smart, though, so he sent him to school when he was ten. Ben liked to read and write a lot, but he didn't like math-just like me! Ben could only go to school for two years because his father could not pay anymore. I bet that Ben was sad when he couldn't go to school anymore. He went to work to learn to be a printere and make books and papers and stuff. He made an Almanack which is like a mahgazine. It was called Poor Richard's Almanack. He wrote wise sayings in it. One of them was a lie stands on one leg, truth on two." I thibnk i would like to have met Benjamin Franklin because he seems like a nice guy. He was smart, he helped out his family, he did lots of crazy experiments, and he was a peacemaker. He's way older than my Mom and dad-like more than two hundred years before them! My mom says that Ben Franklin was a nut, but she likes his wise sayings.]]>
