Create a brief outline of the events from Franklin's anecdote.
I met a boy with bread . . . and inquiring where he had bought it, I went immediately to the baker's he directed me to. . . . Not knowing the different prices nor the names of the different sorts of bread, I told [the baker] to give me threepenny worth of any sort. He gave me accordingly three great puffy rolls. I was surprised at the quantity, but took it, and having no room in my pockets, walked off with a roll under each arm and eating the other. Thus I went up Market Street . . . passing by the door of Mr. Read, my future wife's father; when she, standing at the door, saw me, and thought I made, as I certainly did, a most awkward, ridiculous appearance.
