Mr Carpentr knw tht it "ll b difficult 2 sponsor both twins thr" polytechnc at d same time.He ws hopg tht perhaps God "ld bring anothr scholarshp.Apart frm tht,he didnt wnt 2 dscourage d boys at ths stage.So both boys sat SSCE & POLYJAMB.

As usual,both boys came out in flyg colours.They rejoiced over d result.4 Polycap,his 6 yrs of toil was not wasted after all.4 Lucky,his intelligence was at its best again.It was different 4 their Dad.It formed a major source of nytmare.

To Polycap,it ws a blow.He had bn beaten again.In spite of his shock,he understood why he ws stayg home.Lucky felt sorry 4 his brother & grumbled about economic situation in ths country.He saw no reason why his bros shld waste at home.
