I do have friends but she would be mad at me for talking about her without her knowing it because the last time we almost broke up because of her talking to other people about me without me knowing so I would have to call her and ask first because we could put our friendship in danger all over again and we made a special promise to each other that we would make peace and not talk about each other without asking first and if I break that promise we might have a fall-out again and then we would fight just because of me telling you her name and where she lives so our friendship is stronger than ever but our friendship is a bit complicated though so we try our best to keep our promise and we will never ever break it and if we manage to do so we will stay friends forever and ever so our friendship is the strongest friendship in the world and nobody can break us apart unless she tells. You know what that is all because I will get our friendship into huge trouble so yeah I have a friend but that is all that I am telling you nothing more so feel free to ask questions if you want but sssshhhhhhhhhh about my friendship.

Why does hero fall just because of him saying that he can't marry her? Do they have such a deep crush on each other that he made her fall when he said " I cannot marry you because you are in love with another man " .

The play is fun to watch. There are many different things going on, which makes it an interesting story. You want to know what is going to happen next.
Yes, I have a good friend. He is a very nice and modest person and it's always fun to be around him.

This is the best story I ever read. I think British Council must update another story about William Shakespeare work.

I don't like this play. I think it is too unrealistic. I have friends but I don't feel like talking about them.
