Romeo and Juliet
The story of Romeo and Juliet is set in the city of Verona, Italy. Romeo and Juliet come from different families. Their families hate each other. Fighting between them is common.
One day, Romeo and Juliet go to a big dance. They meet and fall in love immediately. They decide to get married the next day. The priest（牧师）does not agree with their plan, so they have a secret wedding.
After the wedding, Romeo tries to stop a fight, but he kills one of Juliet’s relatives by accident. Romeo quickly leaves the city, without saying goodbye to Juliet.
At the same time, Juliet’s father orders her to marry another man. Juliet is worried and she decides to take some medicine. This medicine will cause her to look like she is dead. At the same moment, she sends words to Romeo that she is only pretending and will join him later.
However, Romeo does not get Juliet’s message and he thinks that she is really dead. He returns to Verona and finds Juliet’s body in the church. Because he does not want to live without her, he drinks some poison（毒药）and dies next to her.
When Juliet wakes up, she finds Romeo’s body next to her. She decides that she cannot live without him, so she takes Romeo’s knife and kills herself.
The two families come to the church, and they find the two bodies. They realize that they caused the deaths because of their fighting. They decide to live in peace with each other from then on.
