  The story How Ben Franklin stole the lightning talks about a man named Ben who is really smart and invented a lot of things. This is a real story based on a real person. Ben Franklin is really smart. He invented swimming paddles to make him swim faster. He also created the first fire department. He also started the first mail department that could deliver mail to home. He is really smart and he invented a lot of things. He contributed to the country a lot. He contributed to the world a lot. He did a lot of good things to the world. Without him, the world will not be as good as it is now. So, he should be remembered and he is one of the most important people in history. 


  Ben Franklin’s inventions are still used today. His inventions are all really important to countries. He invented a lot of things and helped a country a lot. For example, he invented Swimming paddles. His swimming paddles are still used today. Every swimmer uses them. It is like a needed thing in scuba diving. No one can dive without it. So, he invented a lot of useful things. And the things that he invented also helped a lot of people. It didn’t just make himself swim faster, it also made swimmers from the whole world swim faster and better. So, his invention doesn't just help himself. It helps the whole world. One small invention of Ben, a big improvement of the whole world. In conclusion, a lot of Ben’s inventions are really useful to us now. 


Ben Franklin had a lot of amazing and crazy ideas, but these ideas helped him become so successful. If  he doesn't have all those crazy ideas, he won’t be so successful. For example, he had the idea of stealing the lightning, who can think of that? stealing the lighting. What idea is this? This is what people at that time think. They think that it is something impossible to do. They don’t think Ben could succeed. They think that it is a project that must fail. But Ben doesn't think like that! Ben thinks that he will succeed one day. Maybe not today, but he will succeed. At last, he surprised everyone. He succeeded. He did the thing that everyone thinks is impossible. So, crazy ideas are important. 

  


Franklin also had lots of achievements. He worked hard and earned a lot of achievements. First, let's talk about the smallest achievements of his. He invented the lightning rod to protect buildings from lightning strikes, bifocals to aid in vision, and the Franklin stove to provide efficient and warm heating. He was a key figure in the drafting and signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Treaty of Alliance with France, and the Treaty of Paris. He was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention, served as Postmaster General, and founded several important institutions like the Library Company, the Pennsylvania Hospital, and the American Philosophical SocietyHe conducted groundbreaking experiments with electricity, including the famous kite experiment, which helped prove that lightning is a form of electricity. He also coined many terms associated with electricity. 


   In conclusion, I believe that Ben Franklin stealing the lightning isn’t something that could happen to everyone. Ben Franklin is someone who really tried. He tried to succeed. He tries to invent a lot of things. Well, I’m sure that it is not everything that he invented that succeeded. But he tried and tried very hard. I think that he should steal the lightning. No other people can steal it. It's like God is kind to people who work hard. People who are lazy, they won’t get anything. The people that work and try hard can get money. They have the chance to get money. Sometimes, there might also be luck falling on them. But there is no reason for lazy people to get lucky. People that worked hard should get the luck. Even if they don’t want to. They should get it.
