"...Ben Franklin was never able to lock a door again after the day lighting came down his kite string and fused that key to his thumb.They called it a great discovery and they called him a great scientist; but, in fact, he bawled like a baby for the rest of his life every time he smelled rain in the air."
I think this is really interesting because it takes a new perspective on the discovery of electricity and on Ben Franklin. He sees it as a bad thing when most people see it as a good thing. The detail of him crying every time it rained finishes the idea off really nice.
