有钱的父亲
A Rich Father
John D.Rocke feller, the wellknown 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."
有钱的父亲
著名的百万富翁,约翰·D洛克菲勒,捐款达数百万元,但他本人在小钱上却非常节俭。有一天,他去住纽约的一家旅馆,要旅馆里最便宜的房间。他说:“我一个人住在这儿,只需要一个小房间。”
旅馆经理领他到一个房间里,说:“这是我们这里最小最便宜的房间。”接着又说:“可是你为什么要选这么差劲的房间呢?你儿子每次住在我们这里,都要最贵的房间;而你却住最便宜的。”
“啊!是这样。”洛克菲勒说:“但是他的父亲是个有钱人;我的父亲却不是。”
