The story involves a wealthy man, Tony Rodriguez, who goes to a bank to deposit a $1 million check. The teller initially thinks he's joking but is shocked when Tony reveals he is serious. Tony then explains that he's worked tirelessly for 35 years, never taking a day off, even working 12 hours on the day his wife was in labor. Tony reveals that he's a successful consultant who built his business from the ground up. The teller is surprised, as Tony's appearance doesn't immediately suggest he's a millionaire, reflecting the idea that wealth isn't always visible from the outside.
