“No fighting! You know the rules.”
“We have our class trip this afternoon.”
“If anyone misbehaves, the trip will be cancelled.” 3

“How can we get the Capulets and the Montagues to stop fighting?”
Students were excited about going to Chuck-E-Cheese. In the afternoon, Principal Phineas reminded students to behave. “Hurray! It’s party time!”

“Hello. I thought I knew everyone in class, but I don’t know you. I’m Richard.”
Julina and Richard waited on line for the slide. They had no idea that their families were fighting for a long, long time. “My name is Julina. “Please take my spot in line. I don’t mind if you go first.”

Richard and Julina spent the whole day together.
The others noticed that Richard and Julina were becoming friends. “What’s going on here?”
I’m going to mess up this friendship!
“I wonder too.” Chuck-E-Cheese manager, Larry said hello to Richard and Julina. “What’s up, sport? What’s cracking?” “Hey, Larry! What’s going on?”
“This is my new friend, Julina.” 8
“I know your family, Julina… the Capulets!” “Yes, sir. I am Julina Capulet.”
“I don’t think we can be friends.” Richard was saddened by the news. The Montagues and Capulets had been fighting for a long, long time. “Maybe your friendship will be good. It might smooth things over with your families.”
“Wow, Larry! I sure am lucky to have you as a friend!”
