Question Two spaces making trouble

I have really big problems with two spaces. I tried to simplify my problem as much as possible. I have made a script to understand my problem:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
VAR='/path/with/two  spaces'
echo '/path/with/two  spaces'
echo $VAR

I am a beginner of scripting, but i thought until now i would guess what would be the output of the script above. But nothing i know...

Is there anybody out there who could explain me why the output is:
Code:
/path/with/two  spaces
/path/with/two spaces

If you do not see my problem, I do not know why the second line has only one space. It should be two spaces...

Thank you very much for every hint and help.
