Benjamin was the brightest of all the children. He could read when he was five and he could write by the time he was seven. When he was eight, he was sent to school. In school, Benjamin had been good at reading and writing but not good at math. He read all his father’s books. And whenever he had a little money, he spent it on a book. He liked books.
