"Those Extraordinary Twins" by Mark Twain is a humorous story from the late 1800s about conjoined twins, Count Luigi and Count Angelo Capello, who share one body with two heads. The story kicks off when the twins arrive at the home of Aunt Patsy and her daughter Rowena, who are taken aback by the twins' unusual appearance; the awkwardness and misunderstandings start immediately, fueled by Aunt Patsy’s confusion about their shared form. The narrative brings out the twins' contrasting personalities, showing Luigi as the more confident one and Angelo as more gentle. This sets the stage for a story that pokes fun at society while following the bizarre and funny lives of the twins as they try to fit into a world not ready for them.
