①Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706. He is remembered as an inventor, writer, statesman, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. His father was a soap-maker and candle-maker with a large family. At the age of 10, Ben was taken out of school and put to work in the shop. The Franklin family lived near the water, so Ben learned to swim well and row small boats. But all great people were kids once and got into trouble. In writing about his life, Franklin wrote that he was a leader among the boys in his neighbourhood and something led them into troubles. There was a salt marsh nearby. Ben decided to build a wharf (码头) there, so that they could stand on it to fish. He showed his friends many stones, which were used for a new house. That evening, when the workmen were gone, he asked his friends to take all the stones away to build their wharf. Soon, Ben and his friends were discovered and several of them were corrected by their fathers.② And though Ben explained the usefulness of the work, his father told him that nothing was useful if he was not honest.
