John D. Rockfeller, the well-known 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’m 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 the most expensive room; yours is our cheapest."
"Oh, yes," said Rockefeller, "but his father is a rich man; mine isn’t."

M: I’m longing to hear about your tour of America, Jenny. You must be terribly excited.
W: Oh, I am. I’ve never been to America before, so I’m really looking forward to it. I thought it would be better to go on a more organized holiday.
M: What do you mean by "organized"

W: Orlando, in central Florida. Here, let me show you the brochure.
M: It looks pretty packed. Do you really have time to do all these things
W: Oh, yes. It’s all planned. Let’s see. Day one, we arrive in Orlando. And after we’ve settled in our hotel, we have the afternoon free. I guess we could have a look around and do what we like. Then, day two, we go to the Disney World.
