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．”

A teacher was always so involved in the text being studied that he never looked up . He would call on a student for translation and explanation, and-without realizing it-he often chose the same student day after day. Out of respect, the student wouldn't point this out to him.


　　After being called on four days in a row, a student named Goldberg asked advice from his friends. The next day when the teacher said "Goldberg, translate and explain," Goldberg replied, "Goldberg is absent today ."



　　"All right," said the teacher. "YOU translate and explain.



Notes:



　　(1) be involved in 卷入；投入 (2) out of respect出于尊敬

The little girl replied, "My homework."

“Right；but how do you know there's a sergeant there？”



“He's not doing any digging， sir．”

Frog



The science teacher lecturing his class in biology said, "Now I'll show you

this frog in my pocket." He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a

chicken sandwich. He looked puzzled for a second, thought deeply, and said,

"That's funny. I distinctly remember eating my lunch."
