Twins
Bertha and Fiona were twin sisters. They looked exactly the same. There was only one way to tell them apart. Bertha dyed her hair red and Fiona dyed her hair blonde. The twins lived together in a cottage.
On Friday evenings they set off for work at the Town Hall.
A sign outside the Town Hall said, ‘Grand Wrestling Competition . ’
The referee stepped under the top rope and into the ring.
‘ Ladies and gentlemen. Silence please for tonight ’ s star fight. ’
The doors of the dressing room swung open.
‘ And here she is, “cried the referee. “The darling of the ring. Fairplay Fiona! ’
A cheer went up from the crowd.Fiona,dressed in pink,came into the hall.Her blonde hair streamed behind her. With one leap she jumped over the top rope and landed in the ring.
She waved to the crowd and blew them kisses. The crowd stood and clapped. They wanted Fiona to win.
The referee spoke again.
‘ And her opponent for tonight is... ’
The dressing room doors smashed open. One door came off its hinges.
‘ Her terrible twin sister. Big Bertha the Bone Cruncher! ’
Bertha, dressed in black, came into the hall.Her red hair streamed behind her.She shook her.She took a flying leap into the ring.She shook her fist.The crowd booed.They wanted Bertha to lose.
The referee turned to check his watch.
Bertha grabbed Fiona and threw her against the ropes.
The crowd yelled at the referee.
Bertha raced back to her corner. The referee turned round.
‘ I haven ’ t done anything wrong. ‘Shouted Bertha.
The fight had begun.
Fiona bounced back with a flying drop kick.
The crowd stood up,cheering.
Bertha pickd up Fiona and spun her above her head.
The crowd booed.
So it went for five rounds.
‘ And the winner is--Fairplay Fiona. ’
The crowd cheered Fina.They booed Bertha.
That night Bertha and Fiona sat at home drinking cocoa.
‘ I thought the fight went very well. ’
‘ Hum, ’ said Bertha.
‘ You ’ re not upset about the flying tail spin? ’
