However, in Ben Franklin's time there were also very few books or magazines to read, so his "Almanac" served other purposes as well. He was especially interested in enticing people to education, so he wrote stories to pique their interest in the topic of his story, and, of course, he gave his famous sayings, such as "Guests and Fish should be thrown out on the third day.", or "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."
