Отрывок из книги
Chris and Ken were twins. They had blue eyes, freckles, and bright red hair. Chris liked her hair, especially when friends told her how pretty it was. Her brother felt differently because boys often called him “Red.” This made him furious, and he would explain loftily that his name was Kenneth—Ken for short.
Chris never bothered to tell anyone that her real name was Christine. She enjoyed being called Chris.

“So we can read a secret message, Mom,” explained Ken.
“A secret message on a blank piece of paper?” Mrs. Rockhill was interested.
