When Ben Franklin was only a boy, he always wanted to know about things. He was always asking his father and brothers “What?” and “How?” and “Why?”

Ben lived close to the water. He liked to go there to see the boats. He saw how the wind blew them across the water.
One day Ben said to himself, “Why can't the wind help me float(漂浮) across the water?” And I'm going to try. “Ben got his big kite. He took hold of the kite string(线) and ran with it. The wind took the kite up into the air. Then Ben jumped into the water.”
The wind blew the kite high into the air. Ben began to float across the water. Soon he was on the other side, and he had not worked at all.
One boy shouted, “Look at Ben floating across the water! His kite takes him to the other side without any work!”
