The 1st Clue

My sister, Amy, and I received our first clue. The first clue read, "RESOLUTION: The fine print to guess, Seek out Richard S.........." At first my sister and I did not quite know where to begin. However, we somehow thought about poor Richard's Almanack - 1739 Richard Saunders. Richard Saunders turned out to be the pseudonym for Benjamin Franklin. However, as we were working through the clue, our room caught on fire and while we barely escaped with our lives, we ended up heading for Philadelphia as that is where Benjamin Franklin conducted his experiments.

Once in Philadelphia, we started to dig around. We learned that Benjamin Franklin did not actually invent electricity but rather that lightning was the same as electricity. Mr. Franklin went on to invent the lightning rods to protect buildings and experimented with batteries. My sister and I also learned that it was the printing business that made Ben Franklin rich. Finally, we also learned that Mr. Franklin helped write the Declaration of Independence and Constitution and was even an ambassador to England and France.
