Wow!  It is beautiful!   Romeo and Juliet were two lovers, it is a love story.  The second question is a proposal of marriage.

That's right! Have you ever read the book or seen the movie?

I seen the movie a long time ago but if I remember well it was  also  a little sad and they were young.  I also seen Gnomeo and Juliet,  the movie for children few time ago it was nice and lovable but it was not the real story but it was cute.  Have a nice day!

I think I saw a little of that movie on TV. It was a cartoon, is that right?

Yes, it is cartoon for kid but also for big kid like me :)  They are garden gnomes .  I see it in English and it was nice and full of colour.   Very cute.  :)

They are two characters in famous drama of William Shakespeare. I remembered that when I was in grade 11, I used to learn a section of this drama - the scene Romeo and Julliet meet in Capulets's garden. The hatred between the Mongtagues and the Capulets leaded the love relationship of Romeo and Juliet to the tragic end. :(

That's right Blue. One of the most famous of Shakespeare's dramas. The ending is indeed tragic.

The ending kind of got me thinking which is the better choice, between living and be sad or die happily...

I guess sadness fades after time so I'd choose to keep living. 

Taylor Swift, I like her song. She is my favorite singer.
I think her song not too difficult to listen.

Romeo and Juliet, that love story I have read in a short story was a cartoon.:)

It's a very famous story that has been told in many different ways. Possibly the most famous love story of all time.
