My name is Henry. I have a twin brother, Greg. We are like two peas in a pod. The only feature that makes Greg different from me is the tiny brown mole on the left side of his neck. We may look very much alike in appearance but we have very different personalities.

An introvert, Greg perfers indoor activities such as reading or listening to music. His presence is hardly noticed as he is as quiet as a mouse. I am the total opposite. I am an active person. I love all outdoor activities especially swimming and hiking. Many of my friends and relatives feel that I am as talkative as a magpie. However,I am not bothered by this comment. I feel that my chatty nature makes up for Gerg's quietness.

Greg and I do have something in common. Our eyes brighten up with delight whenever mother bakes our favourite snack-chocolate chip cookies . Enjoying this treat is perhaps the only thing we do together
