Aniq was alone at home with his Grandpa. He became bored and decided to

‘Why don’t you go and play outdoor games with your friends?’ suggested
Grandpa.

‘All my friends are busy, I think I need to have a twin brother so I always have
someone to play with,’ said Aniq.

At Grandpa’s workshop, there were many inventions such as robot maid and
a magical pen.

‘Grandpa, can you give me a clone twin? I would like to name him Amin,’ said
Aniq excitedly.

From that day, Aniq had someone to play with. Aniq and Amin were getting
along well initially. They played together happily.

However, one day Amin started asking many questions about himself. ‘Who
am I? Where do I come from? Who’re my parents?’

Aniq decided to tell him the truth, ‘You’re not my twin, you’re a clone.’

After knowing the truth, Amin’s behaviour began to change drastically. He
began to act violently and tried to hurt Aniq. He couldn’t accept the truth that
he was a clone.

Aniq took him to his Grandpa and said, ‘Grandpa, I can’t handle this clone
anymore. Please switch it off.’

‘It’s better to have real friends, right? I’ll switch it off now,’ said Grandpa.

Amin is now displayed together with Grandpa’s other inventions at his
