有錢的父親

　　John D.Rocke feller, the wellkn own millionaire,gave away millions, but he himself was very mean about small sums of money. One day he went to stay at a hotel in New York and asked for the cheapest room in it. He said, I am staying here alone and only need a small room.

　　The manager showed him into a room and said, This is our smallest and cheapest room, and added, but why do you choose a poor room like this? When your son stays here, he always has our most expensive room; yours is our cheapest.

　　Oh! yes, said Rockefeller, but his father is a rich man; mine isn't.

　　著名的百萬富翁，約翰·D洛克菲勒，捐款達數(shù)百萬元，但他本人在小錢上卻非常節(jié)儉。有一天，他去住紐約的一家旅館，要旅館里最便宜的房間。他說：我一個人住在這兒，只需要一個小房間。
