BR 2-15: Wait and See (Wall, 2007)

"His hair was the same colour as mine!" (Wall, 2007, p.14)

Zak and his brother Adam are twins. They look very similar and people are always getting them mixed up. Sometimes, Zak's friend call him Adam and Adam's friend call him Zak. Zak don't want them to miss their names. One day, Zak came up on one idea.

He went to the hairdresser and let him change his hair colour. Then, his hair was red instead of blond. There was no way people would mix up Adam and him now. He couldn't wait for people to see how different he looked. The first person he saw was his sister Abby. She was surprised and laughted. Zak didn't know why she laughted. She said him "You will have to wait and see!"

The next person he saw was his mom. She was also surprised. Zak didn't know why she surprised. She smiled and said 'Wait and see..." His dad home from work. When he saw Zak, he dropped his bag. Zak asked his father why everyone so suprised. His father said "Wait until dinner time and then you will see.

When his mother called everyone. Zak walked down the hall and he wondered what Adam would think when he saw me. Everyone was at the dinner table. He stared at Adam and also Adam stared at Zak. His hair was the same colour! Their thinking was same. They dicided they wanted to look different. They always have the same ideas. Everyone started to laugh. And then, they decided to go back to blond. Adam's hair back to blond. In thier school, their friends call Adam 'Blondie' and call Zak 'Spike'.

I think that twins are very strong connection. Their mind is always same I think. When I was junior high school, I have twins friend. They were very similar. They were different class but if they change, we don't aware. But now they don't similar.
