I think that this story is the most significant turning point in this book. Since Sara was born, she has been jealous and even a little hate on her sister because she was the beautiful and talented one who always got others attention. Because of Caroline's illness, her parents put her in a basket and left herself a alone. Everyone cared about whether there was any matter with the elder one and nobody even noticed Sara. This kind of unfair situation continued and had a bad influence on little Sara's heart. But then things got changed, she met Call and Captain. She was growing up and got to know that she needed a goal and made effort to achieve it. She wanted to go out of this island and see the outside world. She wanted to be different so that people would appreciate her and wouldn't compare Caroline and her. And the more important thing was that the relationship between them weren't as bad as what she imagined, in the deep of her heart she knew that they loved each other and they were twins, the only problem was that both of them didn't know how to love each other in a right way. So Sara was changing quietly. When she went to Catholic and married Joseph, she almost let it go, but there was still a knot in her mind. This story finally let Sara understand that they were both loved and there was no use to be jealous but to become a better self. The new born twins were just like Caroline and Sara, and Sara's behavior let us know that she really understand the meaning of life and it also made up for regret. The ending with this story let us finally witness Sara's growing up, and it let us understand that jealous is useless, if you try your best to achieve your goal you will win your own life some time in the future, and I am sure that Sara will lived with Joseph and their children happily from then on.
