"Oh, that was a nice chapter," said the little girl. "Now some more."
Her father began to read again:
"The greatest playwright in the world was Shakespeare. He was an Englishman. He wrote a play called 'Romeo and Juliet.'"
"Was it about animals?" asked Anna.
"No," smiled her father. "It was about two lovers. It is a very famous story and the scene is laid in Verona, an Italian city.
"In Verona there is a beautiful little grave where they say Romeo and Juliet are buried. The statue of Shakespeare stands over it."
"But how can they be buried if they were only book people?" asked Anna.
"That is a good question," said her father. "Of course, it cannot be true unless such people really lived."
