Romeo and Juliet (Graded Reader), Chapter Two. “A rose by any other name.”

Chapter Two. “A rose by any other name.”

Later that evening, Romeo and Benvolio were out in the street. They were dressed for the party. They were wearing their masks for the ball and were walking to Lord Capulet's house. Romeo's best friend, Mercutio, was with them. Mercutio wasn't a Capulet or a Montague. He was related to Prince Escalus so he had an invitation to the party. He was a very good friend to have. He was almost always happy. He was funny, clever and loved life. That night he was excited about the party and was dancing in the street. Romeo didn't feel the same. He looked sad.

‘Come on, Romeo. You dance too.'

‘Oh, leave me alone, Mercutio. I don't feel like dancing tonight.'

‘You're in love. People in love always want to dance. What's your problem?'

‘I don't want to go to the party. I think it's a crazy idea.'

Mercutio looked at Romeo. ‘But why? It'll be fun. You'll meet lots of new girls.'

‘I don't want to go to the party and I don't want to dance. I had a dream last night.'

‘Well, so did I!' said Mercutio.

‘Oh, ha, ha! Yes, I'm sure you had a dream too, but mine was a

nightmare. It was horrible,' Romeo started to explain to his friends. He was worried because his dream was about death and it made him think about an unhappy future. He didn't like it. Benvolio and Mercutio wanted to make Romeo feel better. They talked about love and happy dreams. They talked about girls and the party. They laughed and joked with him all the way to Lord Capulet's house.

When they arrived, Lord Capulet was waiting in the hall. ‘Welcome, welcome. Come in. Come and dance. Come and enjoy yourselves,' he said to everyone, ‘I'm too old for dancing these days, but you young people must dance! Dance, dance!'

The musicians were playing, the servants were working hard. Some guests were dancing and other guests were chatting. Everyone was having fun, except poor, sad Romeo. He was looking for his Rosaline. Then, suddenly, he saw a beautiful girl on the other side of the room. When he saw her, he immediately forgot Rosaline. He called a servant and said, ‘Who's that girl?'

‘Which girl do you mean, sir?' answered the servant.

‘The girl over there. The loveliest girl in the room. Who is she? She's so beautiful. She lights up the whole room. She's like a bright star on a dark night. No girl here is as beautiful as she is. I've already forgotten Rosaline; this girl is my true love.'

The servant didn't recognize the girl. But, unfortunately, someone else recognized Romeo's voice. Someone recognized that Romeo was a Montague at a Capulet party. That someone was Tybalt. The dangerous, angry Tybalt from the fight in the square. Tybalt immediately took out his sword. ‘A Montague, here? An enemy, here?

I'll kill him!'

‘Tybalt. Stop!' shouted Lord Capulet, ‘I don't want a fight in my house.'

‘But Uncle, this is Romeo. A Montague and our enemy. A Montague in your house. I'm going to kill him.'

‘Stop now, Tybalt. Calm down. I know Romeo's a Montague, but he's not a bad young man. Leave him alone.'

Tybalt didn't answer. He ran out of the room. He was very, very angry with Lord Capulet and with Romeo. ‘I won't forget this moment,' he said to himself.

After Tybalt left, Romeo decided to speak to the beautiful girl. He didn't know her name. He didn't know that the beautiful girl was Juliet. He didn't know she was a Capulet. Romeo Montague was in love with Juliet Capulet. He went over to her. ‘I don't know who you are,' he said, ‘but I know that I love you.'

‘You're very handsome,' she replied, ‘I think I love you too.'

Romeo kissed Juliet and then they kissed again. They were in love. Juliet's nurse saw them. She was worried so she called Juliet. ‘Your mother wants to speak to you. Go and see her now.'

Juliet went to find her mother and Romeo asked the nurse about the girl. ‘Who is she?' he asked.

‘That's Juliet. She's Lord Capulet's daughter,' replied the nurse.

Romeo turned to his friend, Benvolio. ‘Oh no, I'm in love with the daughter of a Capulet. Benvolio, what can I do?'

Benvolio was surprised and he was also quite worried. ‘Come on now,' he said quietly to Romeo, ‘we have to go. It's dangerous here.'

The two young men quickly left the party.

When Juliet was alone again with her nurse, she asked about Romeo. ‘Who was that man?'

‘That was Romeo,' replied the nurse. ‘He's a Montague.'

‘Oh no. I'm in love with the son of Lord Montague. What can I do?' said Juliet.

When Romeo left the party, he said goodbye to Benvolio and walked into the street behind Lord Capulet's house. He needed to think. From the street he could see Lord Capulet's garden. It was a beautiful garden full of flowers and fruit trees. There was a high wall around the garden. He knew that his lovely Juliet was on the other side of the wall. He couldn't leave her now. He just couldn't leave her. He walked up and down the street again and again. He looked at the wall again and again. Then he decided. ‘I must climb the wall and be near her,' he thought. He quickly climbed the wall and went into the garden.

Meanwhile, Mercutio was also leaving the party. He saw Benvolio in the street. ‘Where's Romeo?' asked Mercutio, ‘has he gone home?'

‘No, look! There he is,' replied Benvolio, ‘he's climbing the wall into Lord Capulet's garden!'

Mercutio laughed and called to Romeo. ‘Come on Romeo. You're mad. Forget about Rosaline. She doesn't love you.'

‘Shhhh!' said Benvolio, ‘he'll hear you and then he'll be angry with you.'

‘You're right, I don't want him to be angry. I want him to be happy. I want to see him laughing again.'

‘I know, but he's in love with Rosaline. His love's blind. Come on. Let's leave him. I'm tired and I want to go to bed.'

Benvolio and Mercutio left Romeo in the garden. They went home and went to sleep. They thought that Romeo was looking for Rosaline.

They didn't know that Romeo was only thinking about Juliet, his Juliet.

Romeo walked around Lord Capulet's garden for a while. He was happy just to be near Juliet. Suddenly, he saw a light from a window in the house. He quickly hid behind a tree. He saw Juliet come out of her room. She stood on the balcony looking out at the garden. ‘Juliet, my Juliet,' he thought, ‘She's so beautiful. She's as beautiful as the sun. This moon is nothing when Juliet's here because she's like the sun. Her eyes are like stars in the night. She's mine. She's my Juliet. She's my love.'

Juliet didn't know that Romeo was in the garden. She was thinking about her kiss with him. She loved him too. ‘Oh Romeo. Why are you a Montague? Why am I a Capulet?' she said aloud, ‘I'll change my name for you. My name means nothing to me now.'

Romeo heard Juliet. ‘Shall I tell her I'm here?' he thought, ‘Yes, I must.' Romeo called to Juliet. ‘Juliet, I'm here,' he said.

‘Who are you?' she answered.

‘I'm no one. I haven't got a name.'

But Juliet recognized his voice. ‘I know you. I know your voice. You're Romeo and you're a Montague.'

‘What's a Montague? What's a Capulet? What's a name?' said Romeo. ‘Think about this. A rose is always a rose. If you give a rose a different name, it'll still smell sweet. Do you really want to change your name for me? I'll change my name for you, too.'

Romeo and Juliet talked and talked. They promised to love each other for ever.

‘Marry me,' said Romeo.

‘Yes,' said Juliet, ‘but how? My family will never allow it.'

‘I'll find a way,' he replied.

They talked some more. They talked all night. Suddenly, Juliet realized it was nearly morning. ‘You must go,' she said. ‘It's dangerous for you here. I'm so sorry because I don't want this night to end. I don't want you to go, but I know you have to.'

Romeo promised again to find a way to marry Juliet.

Early the next morning, Romeo went to see his friend, Friar Laurence. The friar was a wise old man and he was Romeo's teacher. He knew a lot about herbs, which he used to make medicine. He knew which herbs were good and which herbs were dangerous. When Romeo arrived, Friar Laurence was working hard in his garden.

‘Hello Romeo. You're awake very early today.'

‘Yes father, I didn't sleep last night. I'm in love.'

‘Were you with Rosaline, my son?'

‘No, I don't love Rosaline. I never loved Rosaline. I'm in love with Juliet. I want to marry her and I need your help.'

Friar Laurence was a bit surprised. He was also a little angry with Romeo. ‘One minute you love Rosaline. The next minute you love Juliet,' he said. ‘That's not right.'

Romeo explained his problem to the friar. ‘When I was with Rosaline, I didn't understand love. Then, when I met Juliet, I suddenly understood everything. Juliet is my real love.'

The friar listened carefully and he realised that Romeo really was in love with Juliet. He decided to help them. ‘Yes. I'll help you,' he said. ‘This marriage is a good thing and perhaps it'll stop all the hate. Perhaps Montagues and Capulets will be friends when you're married. Yes, I'll help you both.'

Later that evening, Romeo and Benvolio were out in the street. Später am Abend sind Romeo und Benvolio auf der Straße. They were dressed for the party. Sie waren für die Party gekleidet. They were wearing their masks for the ball and were walking to Lord Capulet's house. Sie trugen ihre Masken für den Ball und waren auf dem Weg zum Haus von Lord Capulet. Romeo's best friend, Mercutio, was with them. Romeos bester Freund, Mercutio, war bei ihnen. Mercutio wasn't a Capulet or a Montague. Mercutio war weder ein Capulet noch ein Montague. He was related to Prince Escalus so he had an invitation to the party. Da er mit Prinz Escalus verwandt war, hatte er eine Einladung zu der Party. He was a very good friend to have. Er war ein sehr guter Freund, den wir hatten. He was almost always happy. Er war fast immer glücklich. He was funny, clever and loved life. Er war lustig, klug und liebte das Leben. That night he was excited about the party and was dancing in the street. An diesem Abend war er begeistert von der Party und tanzte auf der Straße. Romeo didn't feel the same. Romeo empfand das nicht so. He looked sad. Er sah traurig aus.

‘Come on, Romeo. You dance too.' Du tanzt auch.'

‘Oh, leave me alone, Mercutio. 'Oh, lass mich in Ruhe, Mercutio. I don't feel like dancing tonight.' Ich habe heute Abend keine Lust zu tanzen.'

‘You're in love. Du bist verliebt. People in love always want to dance. Verliebte Menschen wollen immer tanzen. What's your problem?'

‘I don't want to go to the party. Ich will nicht zu der Party gehen. I think it's a crazy idea.'

Mercutio looked at Romeo. Mercutio sah Romeo an. ‘But why? Aber warum? It'll be fun. Das wird lustig. You'll meet lots of new girls.' Du wirst viele neue Mädchen kennenlernen.'

‘I don't want to go to the party and I don't want to dance. Ich will nicht auf die Party gehen und ich will nicht tanzen. I had a dream last night.'

‘Well, so did I!' said Mercutio. Nun, ich auch!", sagte Mercutio.

‘Oh, ha, ha! Yes, I'm sure you had a dream too, but mine was a Ja, ich bin sicher, du hattest auch einen Traum, aber mein Traum war ein

nightmare. It was horrible,' Romeo started to explain to his friends. Es war furchtbar", begann Romeo seinen Freunden zu erklären. He was worried because his dream was about death and it made him think about an unhappy future. Er war besorgt, weil sein Traum vom Tod handelte und ihn an eine unglückliche Zukunft denken ließ. He didn't like it. Das hat ihm nicht gefallen. Benvolio and Mercutio wanted to make Romeo feel better. Benvolio und Mercutio wollten Romeo aufmuntern. They talked about love and happy dreams. Sie sprachen über Liebe und glückliche Träume. They talked about girls and the party. Sie sprachen über Mädchen und die Party. They laughed and joked with him all the way to Lord Capulet's house. Sie lachten und scherzten mit ihm auf dem ganzen Weg zum Haus von Lord Capulet.

When they arrived, Lord Capulet was waiting in the hall. Als sie ankamen, wartete Lord Capulet in der Halle. ‘Welcome, welcome. Come in. Come and dance. Come and enjoy yourselves,' he said to everyone, ‘I'm too old for dancing these days, but you young people must dance! Kommt und amüsiert euch", sagte er zu allen, "ich bin jetzt zu alt zum Tanzen, aber ihr jungen Leute müsst tanzen! Dance, dance!'

The musicians were playing, the servants were working hard. Die Musiker spielten, die Dienerschaft arbeitete hart. Some guests were dancing and other guests were chatting. Einige Gäste tanzten, andere unterhielten sich. Everyone was having fun, except poor, sad Romeo. Alle hatten ihren Spaß, nur der arme, traurige Romeo nicht. He was looking for his Rosaline. Then, suddenly, he saw a beautiful girl on the other side of the room. Dann sah er plötzlich ein schönes Mädchen auf der anderen Seite des Raumes. When he saw her, he immediately forgot Rosaline. Als er sie sah, vergaß er sofort Rosaline. He called a servant and said, ‘Who's that girl?' Er rief einen Diener und fragte: "Wer ist dieses Mädchen?

‘Which girl do you mean, sir?' answered the servant. Welches Mädchen meinen Sie, Sir?", antwortete der Diener.

‘The girl over there. Das Mädchen dort drüben. The loveliest girl in the room. Who is she? She's so beautiful. She lights up the whole room. Sie erhellt den ganzen Raum. She's like a bright star on a dark night. Sie ist wie ein heller Stern in einer dunklen Nacht. No girl here is as beautiful as she is. Kein Mädchen hier ist so schön wie sie. I've already forgotten Rosaline; this girl is my true love.' Ich habe Rosaline bereits vergessen, dieses Mädchen ist meine wahre Liebe.'

The servant didn't recognize the girl. Der Diener erkannte das Mädchen nicht. But, unfortunately, someone else recognized Romeo's voice. Aber leider hat jemand anderes Romeos Stimme erkannt. Someone recognized that Romeo was a Montague at a Capulet party. Jemand erkannte, dass Romeo ein Montague auf einer Capulet-Party war. That someone was Tybalt. Dieser Jemand war Tybalt. The dangerous, angry Tybalt from the fight in the square. Der gefährliche, wütende Tybalt aus dem Kampf auf dem Platz. Tybalt immediately took out his sword. Tybalt zückte sofort sein Schwert. ‘A Montague, here? "Ein Montague, hier? An enemy, here?

I'll kill him!' Ich bringe ihn um!'

‘Tybalt. Stop!' shouted Lord Capulet, ‘I don't want a fight in my house.' Halt!", rief Lord Capulet, "ich will keinen Streit in meinem Haus.

‘But Uncle, this is Romeo. 'Aber Onkel, das ist doch Romeo. A Montague and our enemy. Ein Montague und unser Feind. A Montague in your house. Ein Montague in deinem Haus. I'm going to kill him.' Ich werde ihn umbringen.'

‘Stop now, Tybalt. 'Hör jetzt auf, Tybalt. Calm down. Beruhigen Sie sich. I know Romeo's a Montague, but he's not a bad young man. Ich weiß, dass Romeo ein Montague ist, aber er ist kein schlechter junger Mann. Leave him alone.' Lass ihn in Ruhe.'

Tybalt didn't answer. Tybalt hat nicht geantwortet. He ran out of the room. Er rannte aus dem Zimmer. He was very, very angry with Lord Capulet and with Romeo. Er war sehr, sehr wütend auf Lord Capulet und auf Romeo. ‘I won't forget this moment,' he said to himself. Diesen Moment werde ich nicht vergessen", sagte er zu sich selbst.

After Tybalt left, Romeo decided to speak to the beautiful girl. Nachdem Tybalt gegangen war, beschloss Romeo, mit dem schönen Mädchen zu sprechen. He didn't know her name. Er kannte ihren Namen nicht. He didn't know that the beautiful girl was Juliet. Er wusste nicht, dass das schöne Mädchen Juliet war. He didn't know she was a Capulet. Er wusste nicht, dass sie eine Capulet war. Romeo Montague was in love with Juliet Capulet. Romeo Montague war in Juliet Capulet verliebt. He went over to her. Er ging zu ihr hinüber. ‘I don't know who you are,' he said, ‘but I know that I love you.' Ich weiß nicht, wer Sie sind", sagte er, "aber ich weiß, dass ich Sie liebe".

‘You're very handsome,' she replied, ‘I think I love you too.' Du bist sehr hübsch", antwortete sie, "ich glaube, ich liebe dich auch".

Romeo kissed Juliet and then they kissed again. Romeo küsste Julia und dann küssten sie sich wieder. They were in love. Sie waren verliebt. Juliet's nurse saw them. Die Krankenschwester von Julia hat sie gesehen. She was worried so she called Juliet. Sie war besorgt und rief Juliet an. ‘Your mother wants to speak to you. Deine Mutter möchte mit dir sprechen. Go and see her now.' Geh jetzt zu ihr.'

Juliet went to find her mother and Romeo asked the nurse about the girl. Julia ging zu ihrer Mutter und Romeo fragte die Amme nach dem Mädchen. ‘Who is she?' he asked. Wer ist sie?", fragte er.

‘That's Juliet. Das ist Juliet. She's Lord Capulet's daughter,' replied the nurse.

Romeo turned to his friend, Benvolio. Romeo wendet sich an seinen Freund Benvolio. ‘Oh no, I'm in love with the daughter of a Capulet. Oh nein, ich bin in die Tochter eines Capulet verliebt. Benvolio, what can I do?' Benvolio, was kann ich tun?

Benvolio was surprised and he was also quite worried. Benvolio war überrascht und auch ziemlich besorgt. ‘Come on now,' he said quietly to Romeo, ‘we have to go. 'Komm jetzt', sagte er leise zu Romeo, 'wir müssen gehen. It's dangerous here.'

The two young men quickly left the party. Die beiden jungen Männer verließen schnell die Party.

When Juliet was alone again with her nurse, she asked about Romeo. Als Julia wieder mit ihrer Amme allein war, fragte sie nach Romeo. ‘Who was that man?' "Wer war dieser Mann?

‘That was Romeo,' replied the nurse. Das war Romeo", antwortete die Krankenschwester. ‘He's a Montague.' 'Er ist ein Montague.'

‘Oh no. I'm in love with the son of Lord Montague. Ich bin in den Sohn von Lord Montague verliebt. What can I do?' said Juliet. Was kann ich tun?", sagte Julia.

When Romeo left the party, he said goodbye to Benvolio and walked into the street behind Lord Capulet's house. Als Romeo das Fest verließ, verabschiedete er sich von Benvolio und ging auf die Straße hinter dem Haus von Lord Capulet. He needed to think. Er musste nachdenken. From the street he could see Lord Capulet's garden. It was a beautiful garden full of flowers and fruit trees. Es war ein wunderschöner Garten mit vielen Blumen und Obstbäumen. There was a high wall around the garden. Der Garten war von einer hohen Mauer umgeben. He knew that his lovely Juliet was on the other side of the wall. Er wusste, dass seine schöne Julia auf der anderen Seite der Mauer war. He couldn't leave her now. Er konnte sie jetzt nicht verlassen. He just couldn't leave her. Er konnte sie einfach nicht verlassen. He walked up and down the street again and again. Immer wieder ging er die Straße auf und ab. He looked at the wall again and again. Er blickte immer wieder auf die Wand. Then he decided. Dann entschied er sich. ‘I must climb the wall and be near her,' he thought. Ich muss auf die Mauer klettern und in ihrer Nähe sein", dachte er. He quickly climbed the wall and went into the garden.

Meanwhile, Mercutio was also leaving the party. Inzwischen verließ auch Mercutio die Party. He saw Benvolio in the street. Er sieht Benvolio auf der Straße. ‘Where's Romeo?' asked Mercutio, ‘has he gone home?' "Wo ist Romeo?", fragte Mercutio, "ist er nach Hause gegangen?

‘No, look! 'Nein, sehen Sie! There he is,' replied Benvolio, ‘he's climbing the wall into Lord Capulet's garden!' Da ist er", antwortete Benvolio, "er klettert über die Mauer in den Garten von Lord Capulet!

Mercutio laughed and called to Romeo. Mercutio lachte und rief nach Romeo. ‘Come on Romeo. You're mad. Du bist verrückt. Forget about Rosaline. Vergessen Sie Rosaline. She doesn't love you.' Sie liebt dich nicht.'

‘Shhhh!' said Benvolio, ‘he'll hear you and then he'll be angry with you.' 'Pst!', sagte Benvolio, 'er wird dich hören und dann wird er böse auf dich sein.'

‘You're right, I don't want him to be angry. Du hast Recht, ich will nicht, dass er wütend ist. I want him to be happy. Ich möchte, dass er glücklich ist. I want to see him laughing again.' Ich möchte ihn wieder lachen sehen.'

‘I know, but he's in love with Rosaline. Ich weiß, aber er ist in Rosaline verliebt. His love's blind. Seine Liebe ist blind. Come on. Let's leave him. Lassen wir ihn. I'm tired and I want to go to bed.'

Benvolio and Mercutio left Romeo in the garden. Benvolio und Mercutio lassen Romeo im Garten zurück. They went home and went to sleep. Sie gingen nach Hause und schliefen ein. They thought that Romeo was looking for Rosaline. Sie dachten, dass Romeo nach Rosaline suchte.

They didn't know that Romeo was only thinking about Juliet, his Juliet. Sie wussten nicht, dass Romeo nur an Julia, seine Julia, dachte.

Romeo walked around Lord Capulet's garden for a while. Romeo spazierte eine Weile durch den Garten von Lord Capulet. He was happy just to be near Juliet. Er war froh, einfach nur in Julias Nähe zu sein. Suddenly, he saw a light from a window in the house. Plötzlich sah er ein Licht aus einem Fenster im Haus. He quickly hid behind a tree. Schnell versteckte er sich hinter einem Baum. He saw Juliet come out of her room. Er sah, wie Juliet aus ihrem Zimmer kam. She stood on the balcony looking out at the garden. Sie stand auf dem Balkon und blickte in den Garten. ‘Juliet, my Juliet,' he thought, ‘She's so beautiful. She's as beautiful as the sun. Sie ist so schön wie die Sonne. This moon is nothing when Juliet's here because she's like the sun. Dieser Mond ist nichts, wenn Juliet hier ist, denn sie ist wie die Sonne. Her eyes are like stars in the night. Ihre Augen sind wie Sterne in der Nacht. She's mine. Sie gehört mir. She's my Juliet. Sie ist meine Juliet. She's my love.'

Juliet didn't know that Romeo was in the garden. Julia wusste nicht, dass Romeo im Garten war. She was thinking about her kiss with him. Sie dachte an ihren Kuss mit ihm. She loved him too. Sie liebte ihn auch. ‘Oh Romeo. Why are you a Montague? Warum sind Sie ein Montague? Why am I a Capulet?' she said aloud, ‘I'll change my name for you. Warum bin ich eine Capulet?", sagte sie laut, "ich werde meinen Namen für dich ändern. My name means nothing to me now.' Mein Name bedeutet mir nichts mehr.'

Romeo heard Juliet. Romeo hat Juliet gehört. ‘Shall I tell her I'm here?' he thought, ‘Yes, I must.' Romeo called to Juliet. 'Soll ich ihr sagen, dass ich hier bin?', dachte er, 'Ja, ich muss.' Romeo rief nach Julia. ‘Juliet, I'm here,' he said.

‘Who are you?' she answered. Wer sind Sie?", antwortete sie.

‘I'm no one. I haven't got a name.' Ich habe keinen Namen.'

But Juliet recognized his voice. Aber Juliet erkannte seine Stimme. ‘I know you. Ich kenne Sie. I know your voice. Ich kenne deine Stimme. You're Romeo and you're a Montague.' Du bist Romeo und du bist ein Montague'.

‘What's a Montague? "Was ist ein Montague? What's a Capulet? Was ist ein Capulet? What's a name?' said Romeo. Was ist ein Name?", sagte Romeo. ‘Think about this. Überlegen Sie sich das. A rose is always a rose. Eine Rose ist immer eine Rose. If you give a rose a different name, it'll still smell sweet. Auch wenn du einer Rose einen anderen Namen gibst, duftet sie immer noch süß. Do you really want to change your name for me? Willst du wirklich deinen Namen für mich ändern? I'll change my name for you, too.' Ich ändere auch meinen Namen für dich.'

Romeo and Juliet talked and talked. Romeo und Julia redeten und redeten. They promised to love each other for ever. Sie versprachen sich, sich für immer zu lieben.

‘Marry me,' said Romeo. 'Heirate mich', sagte Romeo.

‘Yes,' said Juliet, ‘but how? Ja", sagte Juliet, "aber wie? My family will never allow it.' Meine Familie wird das niemals erlauben.

‘I'll find a way,' he replied. Ich werde einen Weg finden", antwortete er.

They talked some more. Sie unterhielten sich noch ein wenig. They talked all night. Sie haben die ganze Nacht geredet. Suddenly, Juliet realized it was nearly morning. Plötzlich wurde Juliet klar, dass es fast Morgen war. ‘You must go,' she said. Du musst gehen", sagte sie. ‘It's dangerous for you here. Hier ist es gefährlich für dich. I'm so sorry because I don't want this night to end. Es tut mir so leid, weil ich nicht will, dass diese Nacht zu Ende geht. I don't want you to go, but I know you have to.' Ich will nicht, dass du gehst, aber ich weiß, dass du es tun musst.

Romeo promised again to find a way to marry Juliet. Romeo versprach erneut, einen Weg zu finden, Julia zu heiraten.

Early the next morning, Romeo went to see his friend, Friar Laurence. Am nächsten Morgen geht Romeo zu seinem Freund, dem Bruder Lorenz. The friar was a wise old man and he was Romeo's teacher. Der Mönch war ein weiser alter Mann und Romeos Lehrer. He knew a lot about herbs, which he used to make medicine. Er kannte sich gut mit Kräutern aus, die er zur Herstellung von Medizin verwendete. He knew which herbs were good and which herbs were dangerous. Er wusste, welche Kräuter gut und welche gefährlich waren. When Romeo arrived, Friar Laurence was working hard in his garden. Als Romeo eintrifft, arbeitet Bruder Lorenz gerade fleißig in seinem Garten.

‘Hello Romeo. You're awake very early today.' Du bist heute sehr früh wach.'

‘Yes father, I didn't sleep last night. Ja, Vater, ich habe letzte Nacht nicht geschlafen. I'm in love.'

‘Were you with Rosaline, my son?' "Warst du bei Rosaline, mein Sohn?

‘No, I don't love Rosaline. 'Nein, ich liebe Rosaline nicht. I never loved Rosaline. Ich habe Rosaline nie geliebt. I'm in love with Juliet. Ich bin in Juliet verliebt. I want to marry her and I need your help.' Ich möchte sie heiraten und brauche deine Hilfe.'

Friar Laurence was a bit surprised. He was also a little angry with Romeo. Er war auch ein wenig wütend auf Romeo. ‘One minute you love Rosaline. In der einen Minute liebst du Rosaline. The next minute you love Juliet,' he said. ‘That's not right.' Das ist nicht richtig.

Romeo explained his problem to the friar. Romeo erklärt dem Mönch sein Problem. ‘When I was with Rosaline, I didn't understand love. Als ich mit Rosaline zusammen war, habe ich die Liebe nicht verstanden. Then, when I met Juliet, I suddenly understood everything. Juliet is my real love.' Julia ist meine wahre Liebe.'

The friar listened carefully and he realised that Romeo really was in love with Juliet. Der Mönch hörte aufmerksam zu und erkannte, dass Romeo wirklich in Julia verliebt war. He decided to help them. ‘Yes. I'll help you,' he said. Ich werde dir helfen", sagte er. ‘This marriage is a good thing and perhaps it'll stop all the hate. Diese Ehe ist eine gute Sache, und vielleicht hört der Hass dadurch auf. Perhaps Montagues and Capulets will be friends when you're married. Vielleicht werden Montagues und Capulets Freunde sein, wenn du verheiratet bist. Yes, I'll help you both.' Ja, ich werde euch beiden helfen.'
