11C What a coincidence! I’m Jim ‘So am I.

In the USA, identical twin brothers were adopted soon after they were born. One
brother was adopted by a couple named Lewis in Lima, Ohio, and his brother was
adopted by a couple named Springer in Dayton, Ohio. By coincidence, both boys were
called 'Jim' by their new parents. When Jim Lewis was six years old, he discovered that
he had and identical twin brother. When he was thirty-nine, he decided to find and
contact his brother. Six weeks later, he met Jim Springer in a café in Dayton, and they
probably had a conversation something like this...
