　　The following monologue is about the life of a famous American—Benjamin Franklin.“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth writing.” America has never forgotten Benjamin Franklin because he did both. He became famous for being a scientist, an inventor, a statesman, a printer, a philosopher, a musician, and an economist. Today, we honor Ben Franklinas one of our Founding Fathers and as one of America’s greatest citizens. He was born in 1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. His mother and father were of Puritan religion. They left England and moved to the English colony of Massachusetts to escape persecution for their religion. Franklin left school when he was ten and worked for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brother’s newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen. He went to Philadelphia then and bought his own newspaper. He worked hard and by the age of 24 he was one of the most successful men there. In 1732 Franklin published a book Poor Richard’s Almanac. Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings of observations about life; some of these sayings are still famous today. For example, “Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise,” and “Waste not, want not,” and “A penny saved is a penny earned.”
