4Mrs. Conran died 10 years before. Mr. Conran had
only two relatives, his sons Joseph and Oliver.
They were identical twins. They were so alike
that nobody could tell them apart. Not even their
father.
5Joseph and Oliver left home when they were 20
years old, and they had never been back. When the
two brothers heard about their fathers death,
they went to his house right away. Their fathers
lawyer, Miss Madoc met them.
6She said, Come into the library, I must read you
your fathers will.They all went into the
library and sat down. Miss Madoc took a piece of
paper from the desk.
7She said, Your father made a very short will. It
is in three parts. Part one says I leave all my
money to my son Oliver. The lawyer turned to the
twin brothers and asked, So which one of you is
Oliver?
8Both of the sons said, I am. Im Oliver!.Miss
Madoc was very angry, One of you must be a
liar.
