Benjamin Franklin’s Childhood

He is famous for his newspaper and the kite and the key. His father made soap. He did not like the trade. He longed for the sea, but his father had lost one of his sons to the sea. He was an unusual boy in Boston. One day he amused his self by flying a kite. Then he tied the kite to a stick that was stuck in the ground. Then he went swimming. After a while he got kind of bored watching his kite so he got the kite down. He then held on to it and laid on his back. He learned by doing this the kite would pull him gently across the lake. So he told a boy to take his clothes to the other side of the lake. The boy did as Benjamin Franklin said to. He then got the kite and he laid on his back. He made it to the other side of the lake in no time safe and sound.

I have also found Benjamins life quite interesting. If you keep you mind busy you may also invent or discover some interesting things.
