were four weeks old. They were adopted'
by different families. They grew up in
different towns. They didn't know or see
each other for thirty-nine years!

2 Jim Springer decided to find his twin

brother. He went la Jim Lewis's town and
found his house. When he saw Jim Lewis, Jim Springer thought he was
looking in a mirror! Both men were 6 feet (1.8 meters) tall and weighed] 80
pounds (82 kilograms). They also had the same face and the same voice.

3 The twins grew up in different families, but they were similar in many
ways. 1im Springer was married twice. Jim Lewis was married twice. Their
first wives were both named Unda. Their second wives were both named
Betty. Jim Lewis named his son James Alan. lim Springer named his son
James Alien. As children, both lims had a pet dog, and both dogs were named
Toy. In school, their favorite subject was math, and their least favorite was
spelling. Both bit their fingernails. Both had a headache at the same time
every day. Both Jims drove the same calor and kind of car: a blue Chevrolet.
In sports, they were alike, too. Both disliked baseball and liked football. The
twins had the same job. They both worked as policemen. They even had the
same hobby, making things with wood. Finally, both Jims took a vacation
every year at the same beach in Florida.

4 The twins were very happy to finally meet each other. Jim Springer said
something was missing from his life before he met his twin. Jim Lewis said the

school and learn these skills. That changed in
1443, when the ruler of Korea, King Sejong,
decided to invent a new Korean alphabet.
King Sejong believed that all people should
be able to learn how to read and write, and his
plan worked.

The Success of Hangul

3 After King Sejong invented Hangul, all
Koreans could learn how to read and write
easily. They didn ' t have to learn thousands of
Chinese characters. They only had to learn
the twenty-four letters of the Hangul
alphabet. Each letter in the Hangul alphabet
has only one sound, and no letters are silent'.
This makes Hangu] simple to learn. King
Sejong said, "A wise person can learn Hangul
in a few hours. Even a foolish person can
learn it in ten days!" In 1443, King Sejong invented an easy new
Korean alphabet called Hangul.
4 Today, almost everyone in Korea can read
and write because Hangul is so simple. By Sejong and his alphabet, Korea has

A Lost Cat Comes Home

1 Emi ly is a gray and whi te cat. She is a curious cat. Recently, she took a
4.000~mi l e trip. But Emily didn'1 plan to take a trip. And she certainly didn't plan

Emily took a walk. She walked into the warehouse 1 of a paper company near her

truck to Chicago. From Chicago, it went by shi p across the Atlantic Ocean! Emily
was inside the box all the way.

3 Emily ended up at another company-in France! On October 24th, one of the

workers at the company found Emily. It was the eat's fi rst birthday.. She was t hin
and thirsty, but she was still healthy.

4 Workers at the factory looked at the tags around

Emily's neck. The tags had the phone number of the
