iry penguins live in Australia. They're different from other penguins because they're very
all. They're only thirty-three centimetres tall. Other penguins live in very cold places, but
not fairy penguins. They don't like the cold. They make their nests under the ground, near the
sea. The baby penguins, called chicks, live in the nests. The father usually looks after the chicks
when they're young. The mother goes out and finds food. She swims all day and sometimes for
two days. She comes back to the nest at night to feed her chicks.

My mum’s g o t dark curly hair. My sister’s like my
ryiy b e s t frie n d mum - she’s g o t the same hair.
My sister Valeria and I are twins. We were born
on the same day, but I’m older than her - twenty
minutes older! Some people think it’s funny when
I say that. I know it’s only a short time, but it’s
important to me! Valeria’s my best friend and we do
everything together!
T h ^ s a m e, o r d if f e r e n t ?
A lot of people think we look exactly the same, but
we don’t think so. For example, Valeria is one
centimetre taller than me and our faces aren’t exactly
the same. Valeria’s nose is a little longer and her eyes
are bigger. Can you find any other differences?
L§s, Tw ins,
We’re always interested in famous twins and our
favourites are Les Twins. Their real names
and Laurent Bourgeois. They’re from France,
hip hop dancers. We love them! They always
together and sometimes they dance with other people
like Beyonce, Jay-Z and even Cirque du Soleil.
They’re really great!
Larry and Laurent look the same. They often have
same hairstyles and wear the same clothes. People
don’t usually know which is Larry and which is
Laurent, but Valeria and I know! Larry is a little taller
than Laurent and his face is a little smaller. He’s also
funnier than his brother. There are other differences,
too. Can you see any in these photos?
