What is the ending of The Shawshank Redemption?

The ending of "The Shawshank Redemption" is: After Andy got out of prison, he took some of the black money saved by the warden and told on the truth of the warden's corruption and bribery. What the warden saw in the safe where he kept the small ledger was a Bible left by Andy. On the first page, it says, "The road to redemption is among them." In addition, there are hollowed-out parts in the Bible to hide pickaxes that dig holes.

After 40 years in prison, Rhett was finally released on parole. He found a box of cash and a personal letter from Andy under the oak tree he had agreed with Andy, and the two old friends finally reunited on the sunny beach in Mexico.
