Story 1 - Full of feelings

When it was Tig’s turn, he said, “My name is Tig and I’ve got a stick insect called Zippy and he lives in a tank in my room.”

Leela was feeling very nervous, but she said, “My name is Leela and my brother Tig is always putting Zippy on my pillow and I don’t like it when he does that.”

Then Mr Johnson said to the class, “Leela and Tig were born on the same day so that means they are twins.”

“Yes,” said Leela, “but we don’t always like the same things like some twins do.”

“Do you like being twins?” asked Mr Johnson.

Leela and Tig looked at each other. They had never really thought about that before.

“Well, sometimes it’s all right,” said Tig. “You’ve always got somebody to play with.”
