[00:01.63]	Are you crying, Evelyn?
[00:03.15]	No... no... Yes. I was just thinking about Sandy.
[00:08.01]	And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them, Evelyn.
[00:11.84]	I know, I miss them too.
[00:14.74]	Especially this time of year, Evelyn.
[00:20.56]	The year is 1991,
[00:22.76]	Terminator 2 is the highest-grossing film at the Box Office,
[00:26.93]	the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released
[00:30.85]	and after 70 years of Communist rule
[00:33.61]	the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed.
[00:36.60]	And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia
[00:40.30]	twin sisters are waiting for their supper.
[00:43.03]	The farm is old and operated by Alfred McClock,
[00:46.53]	an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponery.
[00:50.28]	McClock's chicken farms produces over 140000 chickens a year
[00:54.81]	and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States.
[00:59.33]	Despite the modest success of his business,
[01:01.75]	McClock leads a solitary life,
[01:03.83]	never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself.
[01:08.20]	A simple man with a not entirely bad heart.
[01:11.31]	McClock never knew how to best take care of the young girls
[01:14.67]	who came into his life shortly after their birth,
[01:17.11]	so he raised them the only way he knew how -
[01:20.30]	in a 2 foot by 2 foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash,
[01:24.79]	crumbles, pellets and egg booster.
[01:28.79]	One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm
[01:32.88]	McClock does not come at meal time.
[01:35.46]	Night falls and still he doesn't appear.
[01:38.77]	The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger.
[01:43.27]	Days pass and the chickens in neighbouring cage begin to die.
[01:47.22]	The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn.
[01:52.37]	Finally, desperate to find food
[01:55.27]	and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian,
[01:57.90]	the twins break free from their cage.
[02:00.80]	McClock's house is locked tight,
[02:03.24]	but the girls find the garden hose which quenches their thirst.
[02:06.34]	Still half delirious with hunger,
[02:08.67]	they make their way out to the road.
[02:11.02]	Little time passes before a dusty black
[02:13.64]	cadillac Coupe de Ville drives by and pulls over.
[02:17.33]	A tall, moustached young man with a kindly face steps out of the vehicle.
[02:22.12]	He smiles at the girls, "Hello"
[02:23.97]	And presents them with the first candy they had ever tasted -
[02:26.71]	a Twix bar, which they share in silent, odd delight.
[02:32.77]	The girls do not feel at all uncomfortable
[02:35.23]	when the man lifts them gently into the dark, spacious trunk.
[02:42.50]	In the following days the girls are transferred into the trunks
[02:44.38]	or several other cars by many other kindly, candybar offering men
[02:50.61]	until they reach their final destination at the lake side lodge in Manitoba.
[02:55.48]	The underwood lodge is a collection of cosy, water front cabins
[02:59.70]	with an attached trailor park along the shores of lake Winnipeg.
[03:03.24]	It is also the world headquarters of Budding Flowers Entertainment
[03:07.92]	specializing in the production and distribution of photographs
[03:11.44]	and VHS tapes for clientele with unique tastes.
[03:15.14]	The girls are welcomed by Mrs Deborah Bouldger,
[03:18.33]	the 52-year-old proprietress
[03:20.22]	"Well, hello, girls"
[03:22.24]	A women of enormous proportions
[03:24.59]	who lives with her own 3 children in the main lodge of the underwood.
[03:28.45]	Upon finding that the girls have no names
[03:30.82]	she christens them Eva and Lynn, names, which neither she,
[03:34.75]	nor the twins themselves are ever able to keep straight"Eva, Lynn"
[03:39.90]	The twins days of the underwood are relatively comfortable,
[03:43.00]	they are well cared for, the food is delicious
[03:45.70]	and there are many other girls their age
[03:48.06]	Once a week, photo sessions take place,
[03:50.34]	convivial affairs that involve make-up,
[03:53.14]	a wide variety of dress up costumes and inventive new games.
[03:57.79]	Every few days Mrs Bouldger introduces the girls to one of their many uncles
[04:02.77]	"Eva, Lyn, say hello to your uncle Mark" "Heeey"
[04:07.50]	These uncles, seemingly endless in number,
[04:10.00]	travel from all over the world to visit their nieces
[04:13.72]	The girls don't always like their new uncles,
[04:15.95]	but Mrs Bouldger is always quick to remind them
[04:18.78]	that ‘family is family’ and ‘blood is thicker than water’
[04:23.29]	The conjoined sisters are not popular amongst the other girls,
[04:27.14]	however, one gentle resident, a few years their senior
[04:30.96]	befriends them and takes them under her wing.
[04:32.50]	"Hello, what's your name?"
[04:33.88]	(Her name is Sandy)
[04:35.17]	"I'm Sandy"
[04:36.09]	She has soft, blond hair that reaches down to her knees
[04:39.93]	Everyone says she looks like a mermaid
[04:42.57]	Dressed daily by Mrs Bouldger
[04:44.06]	in trade mark fishnet stockings and vintage attire,
[04:47.45]	Sandy is by far the most popular girl of the underwood.
[04:50.61]	She has so many uncles that the twins lose count
[04:53.87]	Every night after dinner and chores,
[04:56.03]	Sandy talks the young sisters into bed
[04:58.54]	and tells them fantastic stories until they fall peacefully to sleep
[05:02.84]	"And after the three long weeks at sea
[05:05.03]	Jean Luke, the sailor finally spotted land"
[05:08.98]	But these happy times do not last.
[05:12.18]	Shortly after the twins' third Christmas
[05:14.67]	under Mrs Bouldger's care,
[05:16.16]	Sandy disappears - never to return
[05:20.64]	The twins remain in the underwood
[05:23.58]	for the greater part of two, long, miserable years.
[05:26.17]	Without Sandy to protect them,
[05:27.99]	they are ostracized and abused by the other girls
[05:31.03]	"What are YOU looking at, 4-eyes?!"
[05:33.29]	The photo sessions involve fewer fancy costumes
[05:35.89]	and over time, their uncles become more peculiar
[05:39.47]	"Did I ask you to talk?"
[05:40.96]	The twins begin to notice the disturbing tendency
[05:43.63]	for girls, much like their dear friend Sandy -
[05:46.56]	they quietly disappear from the underwood around their 12th or 13th birthday.
[05:50.99]	The sisters brace themselves for something terrible
[05:54.13]	One autumn, when the girls are eleven,
[05:57.74]	an old man, who speaks only Spanish,
[05:59.88]	takes the twins into a large, orange van
[06:02.35]	and drives them to their new home
[06:04.01]	"Step right up, step right up, see amazing human oddities,
[06:07.44]	freaks of nature, be warned, people with heart condition,
[06:10.86]	children, women - we will accept no responsibility for fainting,
[06:14.66]	reoccurring nightmares, or death"
[06:16.58]	Dillard and Fullerton, elusive and illogical traveling
[06:19.76]	show is the 12th largest touring circus in North America.
[06:23.31]	Former insurance salesman,
[06:25.38]	Dillard and Fullerton, distinguish their enterprise
[06:27.96]	by procuring the most procuring specimen of the grotesque and unusual.
[06:32.21]	Their small administrative staff works tirelessly
[06:35.17]	to combat legal actions and public allegations
[06:37.76]	of animal cruelty and human slave trafficing.
[06:40.90]	Life in the circus is harder than their time at the underwood.
[06:43.92]	There is always work to be done.
[06:45.72]	In addition to their chores of laundry and sweeping,
[06:48.27]	Mr Dillard insist that the twins
[06:50.95]	spend many hours each day practicing their act.
[06:53.27]	"What are you staring at for?"
[06:54.58]	The girls are frightened of the clowns,
[06:56.32]	several of whom, by amazing coincidence,
[06:59.02]	also happen to be their uncles
[07:00.97]	"Hello, hello, hello"
[07:02.67]	But still, overall these early days
[07:05.48]	at the circus are happy time for the twins
[07:08.35]	Every night to the delight of audiences across the country,
[07:11.72]	the girls appear in the center ring, singing and strumming the ukulele,
[07:15.54]	at the top of Bimba and Kimba -
[07:17.73]	the world's only known conjoined twin siamese elephants.
[07:22.36]	The twins feel they have found true soulmates in Bimba and Kimba,
[07:26.51]	who they affectionately refer to as‘Elephant,Elephant’.
[07:29.48]	This special bond is reciprocates by the pakaderms,
[07:32.47]	who fondly nozzle the girls with their trunks
[07:34.85]	and seem to delight in giving them rides.
[07:38.03]	（The twins and the elephants are inseparable）
[07:41.30]	With the help of the Alphonso de Ares tin, the animal trainer,
[07:45.53]	the twins tend to the elephants, feeding them and grooming them daily.
[07:50.13]	But one terrible August morning,
[07:52.03]	Bimba and Kimba refuse to take their food.
[07:54.55]	Due to the unsanitary conditions of their quarters
[07:57.67]	and an improper diet of popcorn and cotton candy,
[08:00.59]	the elephants have contracted a rare form of elephantine diphtheria
[08:04.22]	compounded by early onset Alzheimer's disease
[08:07.31]	For the next two weeks can only stand by helplessly,
[08:11.42]	as their companions become sicker and weaker
[08:13.91]	and begin displaying obvious signs of memory loss.
[08:17.17]	The last few days are almost unbearable.
[08:19.61]	With Bimba and Kimba's confused, sad eyes
[08:22.65]	looking up at the girls with great anguish,
[08:25.31]	but no hint of recognition.
[08:26.85]	And on one, grim,September day
[08:29.82]	The sisters 16th birthday
[08:32.35]	(Elephant Elephant dies.)
[08:35.59]	The funeral is held at the same day
[08:37.99]	a grizzly affair had an industrial trush compactor
[08:41.06]	behind a Home Depot in Fort Dodge,Iowa.
[08:46.12]	The twins are devastated.
[08:48.48]	Without Bimba and Kimba life is but a terrible and meaningless void.
[08:53.03]	They resign themselves to living out
[08:55.18]	the rest of their hollow existence in solemn mourning.
[08:58.50]	The emotionally exausted sisters fall from favour within the circus
[09:02.49]	No longer willing to sing and play their ukulele,
[09:05.89]	the girls are dressed in a pink tutu
[09:08.84]	and forced to balance on the giant red ball,
[09:11.43]	an impossible task for the conjoined sisters
[09:14.66]	"Get on that damn ball!"
[09:16.44]	The audience roars with laughter each time they awkwardly fall.
[09:21.02]	Their discomfort is increased by a pair of radical groups
[09:25.60]	who have taken an interest ih the twins.
[09:27.62]	Every night in most major cities,
[09:30.00]	protestiers assemble, nosily waving signs
[09:32.25]	and chanting slogans in front of the Box Office.
[09:35.30]	The first faction claims to represent an organization called 'FASSEN' -
[09:39.80]	the Foundation for Always Separating Siamese Twins Everywhere Now.
[09:46.36]	Citing the bible,FASSEN members believe
[09:49.52]	that it is the will of the Lord that all conjoined twins be separated
[09:53.34]	and allowed to live individual lives.
[09:55.92]	Wielding symbolical surgical saws and blunt carbon knives,
[09:59.28]	FASSEN members tried the ticket buyers for supporting the abomination of god.
[10:04.55]	The second group operates under the acronym SPLIT -
[10:08.46]	the Society for the Preservation of Linked Identical Twins.
[10:13.24]	A reactionary organisation, working to discredit the claims of FASSEN,
[10:18.02]	SPLIT believes that conjoined twins will play a
[10:20.81]	critical role in the second coming of Christ.
[10:23.52]	The twins are terrified by both groups -
[10:26.73]	the knives and saws make them very nervous
[10:29.68]	and SPLIT members make threats to kidnap the girls
[10:33.33]	and take them to where they will be kept safe
[10:35.41]	in a place of darkness until the rapture.
[10:38.66]	One day before a Sunday matinée in Sacramento,
[10:42.22]	a chaotic brawl erupts between the two factions
[10:46.08]	and one FASSEN member gets allarmingly close to the twins with a hacksaw.
[10:52.49]	Stricken with fear, the sisters decide
[10:54.88]	that they are no longer safe at the circus.
[10:57.23]	That night, they make a resolution -
[11:00.00]	to leave the Dillard and Fullerton travelling show -
[11:04.99]	(FOREVER)

[00:01.63]	Are you crying, Evelyn?
[00:03.15]	No... no... Yes. I was just thinking about Sandy.
[00:08.01]	And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them, Evelyn.
[00:11.84]	I know, I miss them too.
[00:14.74]	Especially this time of year, Evelyn.

[07:29.48]	This special bond is reciprocates by the pakaderms,
[07:32.47]	who fondly nozzle the girls with their trunks
[07:34.85]	and seem to delight in giving them rides.
[07:38.03]	The twins and the elephants are inseparable
[07:41.30]	With the help of the Alphonso de Ares tin, the animal trainer,
[07:45.53]	the twins tend to the elephants, feeding them and grooming them daily.
[07:50.13]	But one terrible August morning,
[07:52.03]	Bimba and Kimba refuse to take their food.
[07:54.55]	Due to the unsanitary conditions of their quarters
[07:57.67]	and an improper diet of popcorn and cotton candy,
[08:00.59]	the elephants have contracted a rare form of elephantine diphtheria
[08:04.22]	compounded by early onset Alzheimer' s disease
[08:07.31]	For the next two weeks can only stand by helplessly,
[08:11.42]	as their companions become sicker and weaker
[08:13.91]	and begin displaying obvious signs of memory loss.
[08:17.17]	The last few days are almost unbearable.
[08:19.61]	With Bimba and Kimba' s confused, sad eyes
[08:22.65]	looking up at the girls with great anguish,
[08:25.31]	but no hint of recognition.
[08:26.85]	And on one, grim, September day
[08:29.82]	The sisters 16th birthday
[08:32.35]	Elephant Elephant dies.
[08:35.59]	The funeral is held at the same day
[08:37.99]	a grizzly affair had an industrial trush compactor
[08:41.06]	behind a Home Depot in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
[08:46.12]	The twins are devastated.
[08:48.48]	Without Bimba and Kimba life is but a terrible and meaningless void.
[08:53.03]	They resign themselves to living out
[08:55.18]	the rest of their hollow existence in solemn mourning.
[08:58.50]	The emotionally exausted sisters fall from favour within the circus
[09:02.49]	No longer willing to sing and play their ukulele,
[09:05.89]	the girls are dressed in a pink tutu
[09:08.84]	and forced to balance on the giant red ball,
[09:11.43]	an impossible task for the conjoined sisters
[09:14.66]	" Get on that damn ball!"
[09:16.44]	The audience roars with laughter each time they awkwardly fall.
[09:21.02]	Their discomfort is increased by a pair of radical groups
[09:25.60]	who have taken an interest ih the twins.
[09:27.62]	Every night in most major cities,
[09:30.00]	protestiers assemble, nosily waving signs
[09:32.25]	and chanting slogans in front of the Box Office.
[09:35.30]	The first faction claims to represent an organization called ' FASSEN'
[09:39.80]	the Foundation for Always Separating Siamese Twins Everywhere Now.
[09:46.36]	Citing the bible, FASSEN members believe
[09:49.52]	that it is the will of the Lord that all conjoined twins be separated
[09:53.34]	and allowed to live individual lives.
[09:55.92]	Wielding symbolical surgical saws and blunt carbon knives,
[09:59.28]	FASSEN members tried the ticket buyers for supporting the abomination of god.
[10:04.55]	The second group operates under the acronym SPLIT
[10:08.46]	the Society for the Preservation of Linked Identical Twins.
[10:13.24]	A reactionary organisation, working to discredit the claims of FASSEN,
[10:18.02]	SPLIT believes that conjoined twins will play a
[10:20.81]	critical role in the second coming of Christ.
[10:23.52]	The twins are terrified by both groups
[10:26.73]	the knives and saws make them very nervous
[10:29.68]	and SPLIT members make threats to kidnap the girls
[10:33.33]	and take them to where they will be kept safe
[10:35.41]	in a place of darkness until the rapture.
[10:38.66]	One day before a Sunday matine e in Sacramento,
[10:42.22]	a chaotic brawl erupts between the two factions
[10:46.08]	and one FASSEN member gets allarmingly close to the twins with a hacksaw.
[10:52.49]	Stricken with fear, the sisters decide
[10:54.88]	that they are no longer safe at the circus.
[10:57.23]	That night, they make a resolution
[11:00.00]	to leave the Dillard and Fullerton travelling show
[11:04.99]	FOREVER

	ti: Tragic Events Part II
	ar: Evelyn Evelyn
	al: Evelyn Evelyn
[00:01.63]	Are you crying, Evelyn?
[00:03.15]	No... no... Yes. I was just thinking about Sandy.
[00:08.01]	And about Bimba and Kimba. I miss them, Evelyn.
[00:11.84]	I know, I miss them too.
[00:14.74]	Especially this time of year, Evelyn.
[00:20.56]	The year is 1991,
[00:22.76]	Terminator 2 is the highestgrossing film at the Box Office,
[00:26.93]	the first Super Nintendo Entertainment System has just been released
[00:30.85]	and after 70 years of Communist rule
[00:33.61]	the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics has collapsed.
[00:36.60]	And on a chicken ranch just at side of Claxton, Georgia
[00:40.30]	twin sisters are waiting for their supper.
[00:43.03]	The farm is old and operated by Alfred McClock,
[00:46.53]	an eccentric man with a fascination with Civil War weaponery.
[00:50.28]	McClock' s chicken farms produces over 140000 chickens a year
[00:54.81]	and ships wings, thighs and legs all over the continental United States.
[00:59.33]	Despite the modest success of his business,
[01:01.75]	McClock leads a solitary life,
[01:03.83]	never marrying and tending several of the chicken houses himself.
[01:08.20]	A simple man with a not entirely bad heart.
[01:11.31]	McClock never knew how to best take care of the young girls
[01:14.67]	who came into his life shortly after their birth,
[01:17.11]	so he raised them the only way he knew how
[01:20.30]	in a 2 foot by 2 foot wire mesh cage on a diet of mash,
[01:24.79]	crumbles, pellets and egg booster.
[01:28.79]	One clear September day during the twins sixth year at the farm
[01:32.88]	McClock does not come at meal time.
[01:35.46]	Night falls and still he doesn' t appear.
[01:38.77]	The girls and the chickens cry out from hunger.
[01:43.27]	Days pass and the chickens in neighbouring cage begin to die.
[01:47.22]	The smell of rotting poultry permeates the air of the hot, humid barn.
[01:52.37]	Finally, desperate to find food
[01:55.27]	and concerned over the whereabouts of their guardian,
[01:57.90]	the twins break free from their cage.
[02:00.80]	McClock' s house is locked tight,
[02:03.24]	but the girls find the garden hose which quenches their thirst.
[02:06.34]	Still half delirious with hunger,
[02:08.67]	they make their way out to the road.
[02:11.02]	Little time passes before a dusty black
[02:13.64]	cadillac Coupe de Ville drives by and pulls over.
[02:17.33]	A tall, moustached young man with a kindly face steps out of the vehicle.
[02:22.12]	He smiles at the girls, " Hello"
[02:23.97]	And presents them with the first candy they had ever tasted
[02:26.71]	a Twix bar, which they share in silent, odd delight.
[02:32.77]	The girls do not feel at all uncomfortable
[02:35.23]	when the man lifts them gently into the dark, spacious trunk.
[02:42.50]	In the following days the girls are transferred into the trunks
[02:44.38]	or several other cars by many other kindly, candybar offering men
[02:50.61]	until they reach their final destination at the lake side lodge in Manitoba.
[02:55.48]	The underwood lodge is a collection of cosy, water front cabins
[02:59.70]	with an attached trailor park along the shores of lake Winnipeg.
[03:03.24]	It is also the world headquarters of Budding Flowers Entertainment
[03:07.92]	specializing in the production and distribution of photographs
[03:11.44]	and VHS tapes for clientele with unique tastes.
[03:15.14]	The girls are welcomed by Mrs Deborah Bouldger,
[03:18.33]	the 52yearold proprietress
[03:20.22]	" Well, hello, girls"
[03:22.24]	A women of enormous proportions
[03:24.59]	who lives with her own 3 children in the main lodge of the underwood.
[03:28.45]	Upon finding that the girls have no names
[03:30.82]	she christens them Eva and Lynn, names, which neither she,
[03:34.75]	nor the twins themselves are ever able to keep straight" Eva, Lynn"
[03:39.90]	The twins days of the underwood are relatively comfortable,
[03:43.00]	they are well cared for, the food is delicious
[03:45.70]	and there are many other girls their age
[03:48.06]	Once a week, photo sessions take place,
[03:50.34]	convivial affairs that involve makeup,
[03:53.14]	a wide variety of dress up costumes and inventive new games.
[03:57.79]	Every few days Mrs Bouldger introduces the girls to one of their many uncles
[04:02.77]	" Eva, Lyn, say hello to your uncle Mark" " Heeey"
[04:07.50]	These uncles, seemingly endless in number,
[04:10.00]	travel from all over the world to visit their nieces
[04:13.72]	The girls don' t always like their new uncles,
[04:15.95]	but Mrs Bouldger is always quick to remind them
[04:18.78]	that ' family is family' and ' blood is thicker than water'
[04:23.29]	The conjoined sisters are not popular amongst the other girls,
[04:27.14]	however, one gentle resident, a few years their senior
[04:30.96]	befriends them and takes them under her wing.
[04:32.50]	" Hello, what' s your name?"
[04:33.88]	Her name is Sandy
[04:35.17]	" I' m Sandy"
[04:36.09]	She has soft, blond hair that reaches down to her knees
[04:39.93]	Everyone says she looks like a mermaid
[04:42.57]	Dressed daily by Mrs Bouldger
[04:44.06]	in trade mark fishnet stockings and vintage attire,
[04:47.45]	Sandy is by far the most popular girl of the underwood.
[04:50.61]	She has so many uncles that the twins lose count
[04:53.87]	Every night after dinner and chores,
[04:56.03]	Sandy talks the young sisters into bed
[04:58.54]	and tells them fantastic stories until they fall peacefully to sleep
[05:02.84]	" And after the three long weeks at sea
[05:05.03]	Jean Luke, the sailor finally spotted land"
[05:08.98]	But these happy times do not last.
[05:12.18]	Shortly after the twins' third Christmas
[05:14.67]	under Mrs Bouldger' s care,
[05:16.16]	Sandy disappears never to return
[05:20.64]	The twins remain in the underwood
[05:23.58]	for the greater part of two, long, miserable years.
[05:26.17]	Without Sandy to protect them,
[05:27.99]	they are ostracized and abused by the other girls
[05:31.03]	" What are YOU looking at, 4eyes?!"
[05:33.29]	The photo sessions involve fewer fancy costumes
[05:35.89]	and over time, their uncles become more peculiar
[05:39.47]	" Did I ask you to talk?"
[05:40.96]	The twins begin to notice the disturbing tendency
[05:43.63]	for girls, much like their dear friend Sandy
[05:46.56]	they quietly disappear from the underwood around their 12th or 13th birthday.
[05:50.99]	The sisters brace themselves for something terrible
[05:54.13]	One autumn, when the girls are eleven,
[05:57.74]	an old man, who speaks only Spanish,
[05:59.88]	takes the twins into a large, orange van
[06:02.35]	and drives them to their new home
[06:04.01]	" Step right up, step right up, see amazing human oddities,
[06:07.44]	freaks of nature, be warned, people with heart condition,
[06:10.86]	children, women we will accept no responsibility for fainting,
[06:14.66]	reoccurring nightmares, or death"
[06:16.58]	Dillard and Fullerton, elusive and illogical traveling
[06:19.76]	show is the 12th largest touring circus in North America.
[06:23.31]	Former insurance salesman,
[06:25.38]	Dillard and Fullerton, distinguish their enterprise
[06:27.96]	by procuring the most procuring specimen of the grotesque and unusual.
[06:32.21]	Their small administrative staff works tirelessly
[06:35.17]	to combat legal actions and public allegations
[06:37.76]	of animal cruelty and human slave trafficing.
[06:40.90]	Life in the circus is harder than their time at the underwood.
[06:43.92]	There is always work to be done.
[06:45.72]	In addition to their chores of laundry and sweeping,
[06:48.27]	Mr Dillard insist that the twins
[06:50.95]	spend many hours each day practicing their act.
[06:53.27]	" What are you staring at for?"
[06:54.58]	The girls are frightened of the clowns,
[06:56.32]	several of whom, by amazing coincidence,
[06:59.02]	also happen to be their uncles
[07:00.97]	" Hello, hello, hello"
[07:02.67]	But still, overall these early days
[07:05.48]	at the circus are happy time for the twins
[07:08.35]	Every night to the delight of audiences across the country,
[07:11.72]	the girls appear in the center ring, singing and strumming the ukulele,
[07:15.54]	at the top of Bimba and Kimba
[07:17.73]	the world' s only known conjoined twin siamese elephants.
[07:22.36]	The twins feel they have found true soulmates in Bimba and Kimba,
[07:26.51]	who they affectionately refer to as' Elephant, Elephant'.
[07:29.48]	This special bond is reciprocates by the pakaderms,
[07:32.47]	who fondly nozzle the girls with their trunks
