Hi, Eddy. We're going to be in math class together again this semester, aren't we?"
"Sorry. I'm not Eddy."
"Nice to see you again, Bobby."
"Sorry. I don't know you."
"You're Bobby, aren't you:
"No, I am mot. I'm Eddy."
This the story of an amazing coincidence.
Three brothers-triplets-met for the first time at the age of 19.
Bobby Shafran stared a new semester at Sullivan Community College in New York. The previous semester Eddy Galland was a student there. The two teens looked exactly alike another student learned that both boys were adopted, and he realized that the boys were probably brothers.That student introduced Bobby to Eddy.the two boys found out that they were in fact twins, born at the same time. An adoption agency had sent the boys to two different families. The families didn't know that their baby boys had brother. But even more amazing was this. After the story was in the newspaper, another boy, named David Kellman, realized that he was their brother, too-also born at the same time. Sothe twins became triplets!
There are many famous stories of twins who met for the first time as adults. One of the best-know stories is that of Daphne Goodship and Barbara Herbert. They met for the fist time at the age of 39. When they met, each was wearing a beige dress and a brown jacket. Blue was their favorite color. They both liked their coffee cold and black. Well, perhaps, that isn't very surprising, is it? But how about these similarities? They both met their future husbands at the age of 16 at a dance. They both fell down some stairs at the age of 15, and later they had problems with their ankles. And to scientists who studied them , they had similar personalities: they were talkative, and they laughed a lot. Because of this, they got their nickname, the "Giggle" twins.
Scientists like to study such cases of twins. They want to answer the classic question, "What's more important-heredity or environment?"Studies with twins like the Giggle twins same to make a case for heredity, don't they? The twins grew up in different environments, but still the twins are very similar in many ways. But are all the similarities just coincidences? What do you think?
