There were a pair of twin brothers who took the college entrance exam at the same time.
The result was that the older brother successfully received his university admission letter, while the younger brother failed by a mere two points.
Although they looked identical, their personalities were vastly different. The older brother was loyal and honest but poor with words; the younger brother was lively and witty, with a silver tongue.
Facing their parents, who were struggling with poverty and illness, the older brother remained silent holding his admission letter. Meanwhile, the younger brother shut himself in his room, refusing to eat or drink, sighing bitterly that fate was blind to his talent.
His father, who had been troubled, pondered for two nights and finally spoke to his eldest son: "Let the younger one go to school. He is naturally suited for studying."
The older brother handed the admission letter to his younger brother and whispered softly beside him: "This is not a ticket to paradise. Do not place too much hope on it."
Confused, the younger brother asked, "Then what is it?"
The older brother replied, "It is a piece of blotting paper, specifically designed to absorb sweat!"
The younger brother shook his head, smiling at what he considered foolish talk from his brother.
有一对孪生兄弟，同时参加了高考。
结果，哥哥顺利收到了大学录取通知书，而弟弟则以两分之差遗憾落榜。
虽然两人长相酷似，但性格截然不同。哥哥忠诚敦厚，不善言辞；弟弟活泼机灵，口若悬河。
面对贫病交加的父母，拿着录取通知书的哥哥沉默不语；而关在房里的弟弟则不吃不喝，长吁短叹，抱怨命运不公，未能赏识英才。
愁眉不展的父亲沉思了两夜，最终对大儿子开口：“让给弟弟去读书吧，他天生是个读书的料。”
哥哥将录取通知书交给弟弟，并在他身旁轻声说道：“这不是走进天堂的门票，别把太多的希望寄托在它上面。”
弟弟不解，问道：“那你说这是什么？”
哥哥回答：“一张吸水纸，专吸汗水的纸！”
弟弟摇摇头，笑哥哥尽说傻话。
