Hello, my name is Bill. I'm 12 years old. Ben is my twin(双胞胎) brother. I am older than him. But he is a little shorter than me. I am 1.66 metres an he is 1. 65 metres. He likes reading and watching TV, but I like playing sports and drawing. Mum wants to buy new shoes for us on Saturday. Ben wears size 38, but my shoes are size 39. We have a cute cousin, Jenny. She is 6 years old. She is short and thin. She's only 1 metre and wears size 26 shoes. But she is very smart. She always asks questions: Why do you look the same? Why can the twins be different?

The wind and the sun are in the sky. They quarrel(吵架) about something one day. "I am stronger than you," the cold wind says. "Indeed you are not. I'm stronger than you." answers the sun. Just then they see a man walking on the road. "The one who can get that man's hat off his head first is stronger," says the wind.
"OK! You try it first," says the warm sun. So the north wind begins to blow. But the harder the wind blows, the tighter(更紧)the man holds his hat and coat. The wind can't make him take them off. "It is my turn now," the sun says. So the sun comes out and shines. The man feels hot. He takes off his hat first, and then his coat.
"That's enough! You are stronger than I." the wind says.
