Father, why don't you say grace over this barrel of meat? That way we don't have to spend time praying at every meal.
Benjamin Franklin, famous for his lightning experiment and the Declaration of Independence, showed his wit and unique way of thinking when he was still a child. He was a printer; a writer leaving people useful information like "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise"; a scientist having invented the Franklin Stove, the lightning rod, and bifocals,etc; and a founding father proposing that "the colonies should unite. A union will make us strong" and writing the Declaration of Independence.
"I can learn more by the use of the ear than the use of the tongue." This great doer devoted himself and his whole life to the people and to the establishment and development of the US.
