The parents of identical twin boys in China
saved money by sending their sons to school on alternate
days. For six months, teachers and
classmates at the school in western China thought the two
boys were the same pupil until the ruse was discovered.
The parents said afterwards they came up
with the idea to save "unnecessary expenditure",
according to local newspapers.
They would send one boy to school on
even-numbered days of the week and the other on
odd-numbered days.
The boys were attending preschool
classes for four and five year-olds at a primary school in
Chongqing, China. |
