So, a week after graduating from high school, they received their most prestigious prize: university admission wrapped in a white envelope featuring the institution’s emblem.

From the start of high school, the two decided to save at least a portion of the money given to them by their parents so that when they graduated, they would have some savings. They only had one common money-saving bank, which was made of bamboo. They put some money in there before going to school, even if it’s only a centavo, and then when they go home from school, if there’s any money left, they put it in their homemade bamboo bank.
