FRANKLIN could count forwards and backwards He could zip zippers and button buttons He could count by twos and tie his shoes But Franklin was so messy that he could hardly ever find his things Even special things
One day Franklin searched for his sword It was special because he had made it himself from cardboard and wood and string Franklin needed it to play Knights in Armor with his friends
He looked all over He found a bag of marbles he thought he had lost He found a brown apple core He even found his favorite baseball cap But he couldn’t find his sword
