B
It was Saturday again. Lily and Lucy disliked Saturdays. That was another thing the twins had in common. They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same way. In fact, it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Every Saturday, they had to get up early at seven to prepare for their classes. Lily had to take the art class and Lucy had to take her ballet class. “How I wish I could do something different today!” said the twins with one voice. All at once, an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. “Do you have the same idea as me?” they asked each other and laughed. It seemed like a wonderful plan to them.
After giving each other a description of their own friends, Lily put on Lucy’s ballet skirt while Lucy put Lily’s brushes and paints into her bag. Then they left for their classes.
When the art class started, Lucy couldn’t understand the art teacher. Unlike Lily, Lucy was poor at drawing. When the art class finally ended, Lucy was afraid to hand in her painting.
At the same time, Lily was struggling (努力) in the ballet class as well. As she had no idea about the dance steps, she had to follow her classmates blindly. As a result, she kept knocking into them. Their ballet teacher became a little angry with her, “Lucy, you should remember the basic steps. You can’t depend on copying what others are doing.”
When Lily and Lucy arrived home, they were tired. They decided that they would never try to be someone they were not.
