On the day that Benjamin Franklin was seven years old, his mother gave him
1 pennies. It was the
first money that he had ever had. "You
2 buy something, if you wish," said his mother. The little fellow
ran into the street. As Benjamin ran down the street, he
3 what he should buy. Should he buy candy?
Should he buy a pretty toy? He had never owned a good toy. He met a larger boy,
4 was blowing a
whistle. What a pretty sound! "I wish I
5 that whistle," he said. Benjamin gave all his pennies to the
boy to buy the whistle.
Little Benjamin was very happy. He ran home
6 he could. "See, mother," he said, "I have bought
a whistle." "How much did you
7 it?" "All the pennies you gave me." "You've paid a dear price for this
thing. It's only one penny whistle. You might have bought half a dozen such whistles with the money I gave
you," said his mother.
The little boy saw what a mistake he had made. He threw it upon the floor and began to cry. "Never
mind, my child," said his mother, very kindly. "You are only a very little boy, and you will learn a great
deal as you grow bigger. The
8 you have learned today is never to pay too dear for a whistle."
Benjamin Franklin lived to be a very old man, but he
9 forgot that lesson. Everyone should remember
the name of Benjamin Franklin. He was a great thinker and a great doer, and
10 Washington he helped
to make USA free.
