Many years ago, there was a family named Franklin (富兰克林). They lived in Boston (波士顿). There
were five girls and six boys in the family. On a January day in 1706 another baby boy was born. The boy's
mother and her husband (丈夫) gave the boy a name-Benjamin.
Benjamin (本杰明) was the cleverest of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could
write by the time he was seven. When he was eight, he was sent (送) to school.
In school, Benjamin had been good at reading and writing but not good at math. He read all his father's
books. And whenever (无论何时) he had a little money (钱), he spent it on a book. He liked books. They
told him how to do something. At that time he invented (发明) the paddles (浆形工具) for swimming.
