# Thrift: A Film Lesson in Citizenship

Social guidance film in the form of narrative sequences centered on two children in Los Angeles, living in a home that includes a large garden and chickens. Benjamin Franklin appears to the children and their frustrated parents as an apparition come alive from their reading of "Poor Richard's Almanac" and guides them through lessons around responsibility and care-aking of animals, garden, tools and other possessions, also thoughtfulness toward others and financial management.
