Achampet saved
20. What Important element of Benjamin Franklin's character does this passage from his autobiography reveal?
There was a salt-marsh that bounded part of the mill-pond, on the edge of which, at high water, we used to stand to fish for minnows. By much trampling, we had made it a mere quagmire. My proposal
was to build a wharf there fit for us to stand upon, and I showed my comrades a large heap of stones, which were intended for a new house near the marsh, and which would very well suit our purpose.
O his sentimentality
his shyness
his dishonesty
O his ingenuity
