Trouble with the Twins
As you know, Martin’s brothers, Tim and Tony, are twins----they are both the dame age and both the same size. People often make mistakes when they can’t tell which is Tim and which is Tony, because their mother always puts them in the same clothes. All Martin’s family are musical and the twins are too. The difference is that Tim plays the piano, while Tony plays the violin. Both of them practice regularly---one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon at half past four. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, Tim practises in the afternoon;on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, Tony does. But ususlly at half past four they are outside playing with their friends and they don’t like coming in.
One Saturday afternoon in April Jillian was at Martin’s hours at about half past four.
Martin’s mother shouted to Jinllian from the Kitchen, “Can you see the twins outside, Jill? I don’t want them both, but I want Tony to come in and practice.â€
Jillian looked out of the window and answered, “Oh yes, he’s there, I can see him.†So she went outside into the garden where the twins were playing.
“Tony,†she shouted to the first one, wholesale replica designer handbags,“it’s time to come in.â€
“I’m not Tony, I’m Tim,†he said laughing and ran out of the garden, the other twin said that he was Tim, too, and Jillian started to get angry. Finally, she brought them both inside to their mother, holding them buy their arms, and saying, “They have both been very silly.†Martin and his family all laughed at this.
Two weeks later Jillian was at Martin’s house again.
“I’m sure,†she thought, “they are all waiting for me to make a mistake again about the twins.â€
When one of them came to her and asked her to help him, she looked carefully and said, “Now are you Tim or Tony?â€
“Oh, that’s Tony,†Martin said. The twins and their friends were all playing “spacemen†in the garden. Both Tim and Tony were wearing home-made helmets.
“Look, Jillian,†Tony said, wholesale designer handbags,“I made this helmet from two shoe-boxes, but when I’m in it I can’t fasten it.â€
“Perhaps I can do it,†Jillian said, and for three or four minutes she worked at Tony’s helmet, fastening it well with a piece of strong string. Then he ran away to the other boys, who were all wearing home-made helmets.
Looking out of the window, Martin’s mother said, laughing, “You couldn’t tell who Tony was last time, Jillian, and today we can’t even see their faces. How are we going to tell the difference now?â€
Jillian said nothing, but at twenty-eight minutes past four she stood up and said, “I think it’s nearly time for Tony to come in and practice.â€
“Oh, don’t worry, Jillian. You had too much trouble with him last time,†Martin said. But as he stopped speaking something happened in the garden. A bell started ringing, the noisiest bell you have ever heard. All the “spacemen†stopped their game and looked at one boy in the middle, trying to pull his helmet off. He turned round and everybody saw a big alarm clock fastened to the back of his helmet. Jillian went outside and turned it off.
“Come on ,Tony, wholesale coach handbags,â€Â she said. “It’s half past four and we aren’t going to have any mistakes this week.â€
