• Let's listen to what our host of today, LUKE, has to say.
• He will explain the word Doppelgänger.

Have a conversation with the kids about the title of the story they are going to listen to. Do they know what doppelgänger means? Have they met their doppelgänger? Do they believe that they say that every person has about 7 persons walking this earth looking alike?

What do they think the story is about? What is the problem? Use your imagination. May be they can think of the plot of the story themselves and write it their notebook.
