The legend of the twins

He prepared lunch for them and they hurried out into the street. Like every day, she took her twin daughters to school. They were walking around humming a song and holding hands when the phone rang from her bag. It was from work. She responded quickly and her interlocutor asked her to come to the office immediately. Something serious had happened, so she decided that the girls should continue alone; they knew the way well. She kissed them on the forehead and started back. She only took twenty steps. Behind her, the sound of a loud bang followed by a slam on the brakes caused her to turn her head with a horrified expression on her face. The bodies of the two little girls lay inert under a truck. They were still holding hands.

The woman fell into a deep depression from which she managed to get out with a new pregnancy. By the irony of fate, two twin girls were coming to life in her womb. When she gave birth, her striking resemblance to her deceased daughters surprised more than one neighbor. As the little ones grew older, her mother became more and more protective. She was terrified that she might lose them. One day, on the way to school, the sisters went ahead and ran under the watchful eye of the woman. As soon as they stepped onto the asphalt, an iron hand stopped them abruptly. Between heartbroken sobs, her mother begged them never to cross without her permission. “We weren't thinking of doing it. We were already run over once, Mom. It will not happen again".

Since then, some travelers assure that when passing through that section some interference sneaks into the radio and a mysterious melody is heard: the humming of some girls.
