What is poor richersons almanak?

Answer 1

"Poor Richard's Almanac" was a booklet published by Ben Franklin. between 1732 and 1757.

Almanacs have always been popular among rural people, since they forecast the weather and the placement of the moon and planets, tell when is the best time to plow, have recipes, and often wise sayings.

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."

Because he was writing under a pseudonym, Franklin had the freedom to say things that would have made people angry with him if they knew who the writer was. A lot of his sayings were considered scandalous in his day, but are simply amusing today.
