The five babies - identical twins. They are called the most unlucky twins in the world.

Once in the small Canadian town of Callander in the editorial of the local newspaper the phone rang. A male voice asked uncertainly: «Excuse me, how much it will cost you an ad in the newspaper about the birth of five children?» I> Editor at first did not understand what was going on. He asked a few questions and numb from the tube. Having found his voice again, asked: «What do you say? Indeed as many as five children were born? » I> The man on the other side of the wire sadly confirmed this. It was a sensation! «If you tell the truth, i> - shouted the editor, - then you it will not cost a penny. What's your name? "-" Oliver Dion », i> - the man replied.





Thus began the amazing story of five sisters. They were born in the house of a poor farmer, where there was no electricity or running water, and in a stuffy room already lived five other family members. Their legs were thin, loose body fits in the palm. The weight of each was a little more than 600, the mother's milk was not, so every two hours they were given a mixture of water, corn syrup, cow's milk and a couple of drops of rum. The midwife was sure that newborns do not survive an hour. So she hastily christened them as: Emily Marie Cecile, Annette, Yvonne.



When the twins were five months old, his father was going to put them up for the World's Fair in Chicago. It was then that the sisters Dion seriously interested Canadian authorities: a special pavilion was built, which were placed five sisters. This pavilion had ten large windows and a gallery from which you can see them. The girls began to live in a place that looked like a cage.





From 1935 to 1943 the gallery took more than 3 million people! There were spectators not only from Canada, the United States, but also from other countries. View was paid. Due to the influx of tourists grew rich city, parents also feel deprived.



Children were living gold: companies producing milk, diapers, children's clothing, baby powder, toothpaste, pay huge sums for the use of photos of the sisters Dion to advertise their products. Hollywood has made three films about them.



And only a few doctors and psychologists warn that because of the fact that girls are kept like animals in a cage, they grow up unhappy, uncommunicative.





When Emily Marie Cecile, Annette, Yvonne was nine years old, the authorities decided to build in Callander another big house and put the whole family Dion. This idea failed. The girls were absolutely not adapted to this. The father treated him in exasperation, even sternly, he considered himself unjustly deprived of revenue in the division.





When she was sixteen, they are sent to a boarding school. They were shy, timid, unable to find contact with other children. Three years later, Emily went to the monastery, and there she stayed for long. Some years later, she began to appear seizures. One night, during an attack, Emily died. For others, the sisters it was a terrible blow. Immediately after the death of Emily, they began to write the book "There were five", which became an indictment against the authorities.





Dire predictions coming true psychologists. The sisters were not adapted to a normal life: none of them had a profession, they could not find a contact with other people. Having grown up together, they could only be friends with each other. In thirty years, Marie has died. After a failed marriage, she lived alone in Montreal, where he died suddenly. Annette and Cecile also had no luck in marriage. Strongly attached to each other, they spent a lot of time talking on the phone or during mutual visits, during which wistfully reminiscing about the time when they were five.



Cecilia gave birth to twins, but one of the twins died. Three years later she was widowed. At Annette had four children. Yvonne tried to become a nun, but not uzhilas in the monastery and lived all alone. Such is the sad fate of the sisters Dion.



Sister Dion remained in history as the most famous and at the same time the most unhappy identical twins.
