English Original
This story about the renowned millionaire John D. Rockefeller was shared by a friend.
Though Rockefeller donated millions, he was frugal with small sums. One day, checking into a New York hotel, he requested the cheapest room available.
"What's the price?" Rockefeller asked. The manager told him.
"Is that your lowest-priced room? I'm alone and only need a small space," Rockefeller inquired.
The manager replied, "That is our smallest and cheapest room." He then added, "But why choose such a modest room? When your son stays here, he always takes our most expensive suite; yours is the cheapest."
"Yes," said Rockefeller, "but his father is a wealthy man; mine isn't."

这个故事由一位朋友讲述，是关于著名的百万富翁约翰·D·洛克菲勒的。
尽管洛克菲勒捐赠了数百万美元，但在小钱上却非常节俭。一天，他在纽约一家酒店入住时，要求住最便宜的房间。
"价格是多少？"洛克菲勒问道。经理告诉了他。
"这是你们最低价的房间吗？我一个人住，只需要一个小房间，"洛克菲勒询问道。
经理回答："那是我们最小、最便宜的房间。"他接着补充说："但您为何选择如此简陋的房间？您儿子住在这里时，总是选我们最贵的套房；而您选的是最便宜的。"
"是的，"洛克菲勒说，"但他的父亲是个有钱人；我的父亲不是。"
