"This medicine will put you to sleep for forty-two hours," said the friar. Juliet went home and she did as the friar told her.
When her mother came into the room, Juliet lay on her bed. She was unconscious. The mother thought that; Juliet was dead. The parents cried bitterly, then they put Juliet into the family tomb.
Romeo heard that Juliet was dead and he was very unhappy. He bought some poison and went to the tomb of the Capulets where Juliet lay and found Paris there. Romeo fought with him and killed the young man. Then he looked at Juliet for the last time, kissed her on the lips and drank his poison. He fell down at Juliet's feet.
At this moment Juliet woke up and saw Romeo. But the young man was dead. Juliet took a dagger that was on the floor and killed herself.
