Benedict Arnold
Once upon a time, there was a man named Benedict Arnold. He lived a long time ago in a country called America, when it was still ruled by another country called Great Britain.
Benedict Arnold was a soldier who fought for America against Great Britain. But one day, he decided he didn't like being a soldier anymore. He didn't like the way he was being treated by the people in charge, and he wanted more money for all his hard work. So he did a very bad thing.
He decided to help Great Britain instead of America. He gave them some secret information about the American army, and he promised to help them win the war. Great Britain was very happy to hear this, and they promised to give Benedict Arnold lots of money and a high position in their army.
But the people in America found out about what Benedict Arnold was doing. They were very angry and upset that one of their own soldiers would betray them. They called him a traitor and said he was destroying their country.
In the end, Benedict Arnold didn't get what he wanted. He didn't get the money or the position he was promised by Great Britain. And he didn't get the respect of the people in America. He became known as one of the biggest traitors in American history, and his name is still remembered today as someone who did a very bad thing to his own country.
