The Montagues and the Capulets

In Verona, there were two families -the Montagues and the Capulets. They hated each other. One day the two groups of servants began to fight. Then Benvolio, a member of the Montague family, arrived and tried to make peace. After that, Tybalt arrived. He was a Capulet, the most dangerous member of the family, he loved fighting. Then Lord and Lady Capulet arrived. Later Lord and Lady Montague too. Soon everyone was fighting.
At last, the Prince of Verona arrived. He was very angry and he wanted peace in his city. He said that if the two families fight again, they will both die!
Romeo, the soon of the Montague, shuts out the daylight and spends all his time alone in the dark. He talked with his cousin, Benvolio, and he explain to him that he was in love with Rosaline.
Lord Capulet decided to have a party. He wanted to invite all the important people from Verona, but not the Montagues, also he wanted that his daughter, Juliet, to meet Paris (a lord, -he hoped she would marry Paris in the future-). He gave the list of the names of the guest to his servant. The servant met Romeo and Benvolio in the street (he did not know that they were Montagues), so he asked if they can help him, because he can't read the names on this pice of paper. Romeo saw the list, with the name of Rosaline.
Meanwhile, Lady Capulet was talking to Juliet (she was 13) and she said to her that she wil meet Paris at the party, because in future, she will has to get married with him.

Romeo went to the party with Benvolio and Mercutio. In there he saw Juliet for the first time. He forgot Rosalin! He fell in love. They talked, they did not know who they were. They suddently kissed. After that Romeo had to leave the party with his friends, but he went to see Juliet. They already knew who they are. Romeo and Juliet talked more and they pactey that they will be married in secret (because their families are enemics.
