how old was benjamin franklin in the parable that he wrote ?

Ok, first do math he was born in 1706 so grab a pen and a paper and start writing down the numbers from 6-55 (1755 was when he wrote it) when you're done with that start counting and he was born in 1706 so on number 6 say 0 as in months old.

He was around 48 when he wrote it.
