Romeo and Juliet: A Happy Ending

         The ending of Romeo and Juliet base on Shakespeare's original play  is a tragic love story. For some Filipinos it's not a play, maybe because we always want to have a happy ending like in the fairy tales such as snow white, sleeping beauty, Cinderella and many more. But what if there will be a big twist in the play? What if it’s a happy ending instead of a tragic one? What will you choose?     
          Friar Laurence give a sleeping poison to Juliet, while Romeo is hiding from the peoples of Verona. Juliet tell her parents that she will marry Paris. On the night before her wedding, she drink the sleeping poison. On her wedding day, her parents just found her died on her room. Romeo didn’t  receive the letter stating that Juliet is just sleeping and will wait for him. On Juliet's tomb, Romeo just found her died, not even knowing that Juliet is just sleeping. Romeo get his dagger, on the time that he is ready to kill himself, Juliet wakes up. Before the dagger reach Romeo's breast, Juliet wakes up and hug him very tight. The lovers take their time discussing what really happened. They decided to go far away from Verona, and live happily ever after.             
             For me, the tragic ending of the play is still better, the best I mean. Maybe we just have different taste in choosing the best ending of the play, I can't do any for that, we just  have to agree in each and every one of us.
