long, long time ago in Rome.

At the time, Rome was ruled by an

emperor called Claudius.

Claudius was angry because nobody wanted to

join his army. All of the men wanted to stay at
home with their wives and children.

nobody could get married.

He thought that this way the men

would have no families and they
would come and join his army.

A kind priest named Valentine helped

the men by letting them marry their
sweethearts in secret.
When Emperor Claudius found out, he was very angry. He sent his
soldiers to arrest Valentine and throw him into prison.
