The important thing about Ben Franklin is that he discovered electricity.  He was born on January 17, 1706.  It is true that he had sixteen brothers and sisters.  He and his family were poor.  They had to work very hard.  When he was older he was a printer, a scientist, and an inventor.  It is true that he died at the age of 84 on April 17, 1790. But, the important thing about Ben Franklin is that he discovered electricity.
