with a family in Manhattan, USA.
When Tamara was twenty years old, she started university in Long Island. She enjoyed
her university life. But one day she was walking home from class, and a student smiled
at her. Hello Adriana! said the student. Im not Adriana, said Tamara.
This happened to Tamara again and again. People Tamara didnt know kept calling her
Adriana. It was very strange. One day, when a woman called her Adriana, Tamara
asked Why do you keep calling me Adriana?
The woman replied, You look like my friend Adriana. You have the same face and the
same hair. Is Adriana your sister? Tamara said that she did not have a sister called
Adriana. But she was interested in this girl Adriana. Finally she asked someone for
Adrianas email address.
When Tamara wrote to Adriana, she found out that they both had the same birthday,
they looked the same and both of them were from Mexico.When Tamara went to live
with the family in Manhattan, Adriana moved to Long Island to live with a family there. It
