In the beautiful city of Verona in Northern Italy, there were two families who didn't like each other. In fact, they hated each other. The name of one of the families was Capulet, and the other family was called Montague. They had been fighting each other for over one hundred years, and quite a few people had been killed during that time. Sometimes there people, who didn't belong to these two families, were hurt in the fights. Everybody wished that they would stop fighting.
Romeo who was Montague's son met Juliet who was Capulet's daughter at the party and they fell in love. Although they found out that they were enemies and their love did matter, they managed to keep their love secretly. After a while, they held a secret wedding and they hoped that the marriage of Romeo and Juliet would help to make the two families friendly with each other, so that the fighting would stop.
But, Mercutio who was Romeo's friend and Tybalt who was Capulet's nephew started to fight on the street. Romeo asked Benbolio who was Montague's nephew to help Mercutio stop the fight. However, Tybalt hit Mercutio with his sword. Then Tybalt and his friends ran away. Romeo felt very bad because his friend was hurt. Suddenly, Benvolio cried out and said that Mercutio was dead. Romeo was very upset and ran outside. He found Tybalt and told him that he had killed Mercutio. He took out his sword and they started to fight. Tybalt was a very good fighter, but Romeo was so angry that he became an even better fighter and killed him. Romeo was banished from Verona.
I'm excited to read next chapter!
