Gather round kids as I tell you the story of Benjamin Franklin! Be-Franks was a smart guy, some might even go so far as to say a wise guy. That being said, he decided to test fate a little and did what every mother tells their child not to do: he played with lightening. After waiting for a storm to start brewing, Franks tied his car key to a kite string and let her fly. Attempting to figure out if lightning was actually electricity (or so he claimed), Franks let the kite loose in the name of all that is good and right in the world, as well as the name of science. Benny watched as lightning began to gather, and before he knew it-WHAMMO-he was electrocuted! When he came to, it was already morning of the next day. He had laid out their all night in the rain, probably caught himself a cold too. But the worst part was his transportation! His car key was so mutilated by the lightning strike that he had to walk all the way back to town. The End. Well, I hope you enjoyed History With Ben! Tune in next time when we discuss George Washington and the Mole People!

That was considerably more entertaining than any history I learned in school.
