Deciding the Future

Looking for Fun
Benjamin tried poetry and was good at it. However, his father didn't approve. Benjamin wrote letters to his brother's newspaper, by the name, of Silent DoGood. Also, he loved reading books. He even became a vegetarian and used half of his paycheck to buy more books. -
Bragging Off
When Ben had saved much money he decided to buy a new suit of clothing and watch with a long gold chain. He dropped himself off at his brothers print shop and started, well, you know, bragging. James was so angry it took almost years for the brothers to make up! -
