 CHAPTER 7 TELL ME! WHAT’S IT LIKE?

7.1 Starter
Write down two things that you like about your city/village and two things
that you don’t like it. Tell the class.

7.2 Reading
You are going to read about two millionaires. One was very mean, the other
was very generous. First read quickly about Milton Petrie. Can you remember
any examples of his kindness.

A TALE OF TWO MILLIONAIRES

Milton Petrie
The Most Generous Man in the World
Every morning, billionaire Milton Petrie
walked from his New York apartment and
bought a newspaper from the ragged old man
on the street corner. One morning the man
wasn’t there. Petrie learned that he was very ill
in the city hospital. Immediately he paid his
hospital bill and later, when the man died, paid
for his funeral.
The old man was just one of many
Hetty Green
The Richest, Meanest Woman in the World
Henetta (Hetty) Green was a very spoilt, only child.
She was born in Massachusetts, USA, in 1835. Her father
was a millionaire businessman. Her mother was often ill,
and so from the age of two, her father took her with him to
work and taught her about stocks and shares. At the age of
six, she started reading the daily financial newspapers and
she opened her own bank account.
Her father died when she was 21 and she was
inherited $7,5 million. She went to New York and

27
people that Milton Petrie helped with his
money. Whenever he read about personal
disaster in his newspaper Petrie sent generous
cheques, especially to the families of policemen
or firemen injured at work. He also sent
cheques to a mother who lost five children in a
fire, and a beautiful model, whose face was cut
in a knife attack. It cost him millions of dollars,
but he still had millions left. He said that he was
lucky in business and he wanted to help those
less fortunate than himself. ‘The nice thing is,
the harder I work, the more money I make, and
the more people I can help.’
Milton Petrie died in 1994, when he
was 92. His will was 120 pages long because he
left $150 million to 383 people. His widow,
Carroll, his fourth and last wife, said his
generosity was a result of the poverty of his
early years. His family were poor but kind-
hearted. His father was a Russian immigrant
who became a policeman, but he never arrested
anyone, he was too kind. He couldn’t give a
parking ticket.
invested on Wall Street. Hetty saved every penny, eating
in the cheapest retaurants for 15 cents. She became one of
the richest and most hated women in the world. She was
called ‘The Witch of Wall Street.’ At 33 she married
Edward Green, a multimillionaireeen, and had two
children, Ned and Sylvia.
Hetty’s meanness was legendary. She always argued
about prices in shops. She walked to the local grocery
store to buy broken cookies (biscuits) which were much
cheaper, and to get a free bone for her much-loved dog,
Dewey. Once she lost a two cent-stamp and spent the
night looking for it. She never bought clothes and always
wore the same long, ragged black skirt. Worst of all, when
her son Ned fell and injured his knee, she refused to pay
for a doctor and spent hours looking for free medical help.
In the end Ned’s leg was amputated.
When she died in 1916 she left her children $100
million (worth $9.3 billion today). Her daughter built a
hospital with her money.

Discuss these questions in small groups.

1) How were Milton and Hetty’s childhoods different?

2) How did their childhoods affect them later?
3) Why was Milton especially generous to policemen?
4) Why did Hetty’s daughter build a hospital?
5) What was the kindest thing Milton did?
6) Who had the happeier life? Milton or Hetty?
