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.
