Benjamin
Franklin,
it
is
said,
once
had
a
powerful
enemy
in
Philadelphia
7s
He
asked
himself
how
he
might
lose
this
enemy
and
he
hit
on
an
idea!
13s
Franklin
asked
the
man
who
hated
him
to
lend
him
a
particular
book
18s
The
man
was
flattered,
and
on
the
common
ground
between
the
book
owner
and
the
borrower
23s
a
friendship
formed
25s
It's
ironicc
that
asking
someone
to
help
can
lower
walls,
but
it's
true
31s
people
are
endeared
to
us
when
they
can
do
something
for
us
36s
This
is
Howard
Butt,
Jr.
of
Laity
Lodge
39s
I'm
not
suggesting
you
presume
on
others,
let
them
do
your
work,
or
habitually
ask
for
favors
45s
I
do
suggest
that
friendships
deepen
when
we
accept
the
graciousness
of
another
.
.
.
52s
in
the
high
calling
of
our
daily
work
