| A very long time ago two noble families, who hated each other very much, lived in Italy.
One day a young man from one family met a girl from the other family, and they fell in love.
Their love was so great that they got married in secret, despite the hatred between their families.
The girl’s father, who didn’t know about her love, decided that she should marry another young man.
To escape the unwanted marriage, the girl drank a medicine and pretended to be dead for two days.
Her secret lover didn’t know about her plan, and when he saw her lying “dead,” he drank a poison.
The girl woke up and when she saw her dead lover, she killed herself too because she couldn’t live without him.
When both families learnt about their children’s tragic deaths, they were so shocked they decided to stop hating each other. | A very long time ago two noble families, who hated each other very much, lived in Italy.
