I think he meant:
[fen]4k3/5p2/4p3/8/4PP2/8/8/4K3 w KQkq - 0 1[/fen][/b]
As a general rule pawns are best placed side by side. The weakness of the pawn is in the square directly in front of it. Side by side they protect each others weakness.
White plays Ke2 black plays f6. The position is nearly symmetrical.
