珍妮和亨利在同一天出生，并且他们看起来长相也相同。他们的父亲有一辆出租汽车，整天忙忙碌碌。他每天清晨出车，每晚当他的孩子们上床睡觉的时候才回来。 他赚了很多钱，但是他没有时间关心孩子们的学习。两个孩子就读于同一个班级。珍妮学习非常刻苦用功,但是她的弟弟除了玩什么也不干。他不擅长电脑写作。
一天，库克老师让她的学生写一篇作文，题目叫“ 我的母亲 ”。晚饭后珍妮在她的练习本中写了一篇，然后就去帮助她的母亲做一些家务。然而亨利却去踢足球，当夜幕降临的时候，他回到家看电视，直到一场电视剧结束。随后他脱掉了他的衣服上床睡觉。这时他想起还有篇作文要写，不得不再一次回到客厅。但是他不知道该怎么去写。他苦思冥想思，最后他想出了一个办法。他找到珍妮的书包，取出了她的练习本，并且照抄了她的作文。
两天过后，库克老师问亨利,“你能告诉我你的作文为什么和珍妮的一样呢? ”“是的 , 老师 ”亨利回答。“我们有相同的母亲 .”
