Short Story
Once upon a time, there was once a guy who was very much in love with this girl. This romantic
guy folded 1,000 pieces of paper cranes as a gift to his girl. Although at that time he was just a
small executive in his company, his future doesn't seem too bright, they were very happy
together. Until one day, his girl told him she was going to Paris and will never come back. She
also told him that she cannot visualize any future for the both of them, so let's go their own ways
there and then heartbroken, the guy agreed.
When he regained his confidence, he worked hard day and night, just to make something out of
himself. Finally with all these hard work and with the help of friends, this guy had set up his own
company. "You never fail until you stop trying." He always told himself. "I must make it in life!"
One rainy day, while this guy was driving, he saw an elderly couple sharing an umbrella in the
rain walking to some destination. Even with the umbrella, they were still drenched. It didn’t take
him long to realize those were his ex-girlfriend's parents. With a heart in getting back at them, he
drove slowly beside the couple, wanting them to spot him in his luxury saloon. He wanted them
to know that he wasn’t the same anymore; he had his own company, car, condo, etc. He had
made it in life!
Before the guy can realize, the couple was walking towards a cemetery, and he got out of his car
and followed them. ..and he saw his ex-girlfriend, a photograph of her smiling sweetly as ever at
him from her tombstone... and he saw his precious paper cranes in a bottle placed beside her
tomb. Her parents saw him. He walked over and asked them why this had happened. They
explained that she did not leave for France at all. She was stricken ill with cancer. In her heart,
she had believed that he will make it someday, but she did not want her illness to be his obstacle,
therefore she had chosen to leave him.
She had wanted her parents to put his paper cranes beside her, because, if the day comes when
fate brings him to her again he can take some of those back with him. The guy just wept.

Short Story
In the town of Verona there lived two families, the Capulets and the Montagues. They engaged
in a bitter feud. Among the Montagues was Romeo, a hot-blooded young man with an eye for the
ladies. One day, Romeo attended the feast of the Capulets’, a costume party where he expected
to meet his love, Rosaline, a haughty beauty from a well-to-do family. Once there, however,
Romeo's eyes felt upon Juliet, and he thought of Rosaline no more.
The vision of Juliet had been invading his every thought. Unable to sleep, Romeo returned late
that night to the Juliet’s bedroom window. There, he was surprised to find Juliet on the balcony,
professing her love for him and wishing that he were not a "Montague", a name behind his own.
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Romeo
was ready to deny his name and professed his love. The two agreed to meet at nine o- clock the
next morning to be married.
Early the next morning, Romeo came to Friar Lawrence begging the Friar to marry him to Juliet.
The Friar performed the ceremony, praying that the union might someday put an end to the feud
between the two families. He advised Romeo kept the marriage a secret for a time.
On the way home, Romeo chanced upon his friend Mercutio arguing with Tybalt, a member of
the Capulet clan. That quarreling last caused Merquito died. Romeo was reluctant no longer. He
drew his sword and slew Tybalt died. Romeo realized he had made a terrible mistake. Then Friar
Lawrence advised Romeo to travel to Mantua until things cool down. He promised to inform
Juliet.
In the other hand, Juliet’s father had decided the time for her to marry with Paris. Juliet consulted
Friar Lawrence and made a plot to take a sleeping potion for Juliet which would simulate death
for three days. The plot proceeded according to the plan. Juliet was sleeping in death.
Unfortunately, the Friar's letter failed to reach Romeo. Under the cover of darkness, he broke
into Juliet’s tomb. Romeo kissed the lips of his Juliet one last time and drank the poison.
Meanwhile, the effects of the sleeping potion wear off. Juliet woke up calling for Romeo. She
found her love next to her but was lying dead, with a cup of poison in his hand. She tried to kiss
the poison from his lips, but failed. Then Juliet put out his dagger and plunged it into her breast.
She died.
