TWINS
Oncethere were two brothers who were identical twins. They looked exactly alike. They both had the same curly dark brown hair, blue eyes, and beautiful teeth. They were both exactly five feet ten inches tall and both weighed exactly one hundred and fifty pounds.
They not only looked alike but also sounded alike on the phone. Not even their family could tell the difference. They dressed alike, listened to the same music, and read the same books. They even laughed at the same jokes.
When they were twenty-three they both got married and a year later both had sons. The years went by and they began to grow old, they both wore glasses and eventually they both became bald.
Then one day, one of the brothers got sick and died. A few days later a man stopped the other twin on the street. "Excuse me for asking," he said, "but was it you or your brother who died?"
