Two sets of twins we have to meet,
One's fraternal, one's complete,
Identical in every way,
The other, not so much, they say.

They share a bond, this we know,
But sometimes they don't see eye-to-eye, oh no!
They argue, bicker and sometimes fight,
But deep down, they know it's alright.

They learn to tolerate and forgive,
For love and friendship, they must not sieve.
It's a lesson for us all to learn,
To cross the threshold, the love we must earn.

One day they had a casual chat,
And a plot they hatched just like that.
They recruited all their friends to play,
And off they went on an escapade.

The intent was just to have some fun,
And enjoy the warmth of the sun.
They laughed and played, without a care,
And let the logical thoughts disappear.

But one of them, with Xeroderma Pigmentosum,
Had to be careful, and so did some.
They all had fun, but now they knew,
That the sun was something they should eschew.

So now they know, and so do you,
To have fun and play, but be mindful too.
And when in doubt, just stop and think,
And always be careful with your skin.

2. What did the twins learn about friendship and getting along with others?
3. Why was it important for the twins to be careful in the sun, and what did they do to protect themselves?
4. What is Xeroderma Pigmentosum, and how did it affect one of the characters in the story?
5. Have you ever had a fun adventure with your friends like the twins did in the story? How did you stay safe while having fun?
