Bob was happy. He was at a new school ,and the other students were friendly."Hi,Bob!" they said.
But some students said,"Hi,Peter !"Bob didn't understand. He asked another student, "Why do some
students call me Peter?"
"Oh,that's easy to answer. "the student said. "Peter was a student here last year.Now he goes to a
different school. You look like Peter.Some students think that you're Peter." Bob wanted to meet Peter.
He got Peter's address from a student and went to Peter's. Peter opened the door. Bob couldn't believe
his eyes.He looked really like Peter ! Bob and Peter had the same colour eyes and the same smile. They
had the same black hair.They also had the same birthday.And they both were adopted(领养)by two
different families.
Bob and Peter found out that they were twin brothers. Soon after the boys were born, one family
adopted Bob , and another family adopted peter. Bob's family never knew about Peter , and Peter's
family never knew about Bob.
