IV. Oral Reading Passage Script
John D. Rockefeller
John D. Rockefeller did three amazing things. First, he acquired probably the
greatest fortune in all history. He started out in life digging potatoes under the
hot sun for four cents an hour. In those days, there were not half a dozen men in all
of the United States who were worth even one million dollars. Eventually, John D.
managed to collect a fortune said to be anywhere from one to two billion dollars.
And yet, the first girl he fell in love with refused to marry him. The reason given
was because her mother refused to allow her daughter to “throw herself away” on
a man who had such poor prospects.
The second amazing thing that John Rockefeller did was to give away more
money than anyone else has done in history. And the third thing about this man
was that he lived to be eighty-two. He was one of the most hated men in America.
He got lots of letters from people threatening to kill him. He had to be protected
day and night by armed body guards. He endured the heavy nervous and physical
strain of building up and bossing all his big empire. It is well known that the strain
of business killed Harriman, the railroad man, at sixty-one, and that Woolworth
was finished with his life at sixty-seven. But John Rockefeller made a far greater
fortune and still lived many years longer.
