There once lived 2 lovers, but their parents never let them see each other, but they could talk through a crack in the wall.One day Pyramus had enough, as he said to Thisbe through the wall.
"Meet me by the tomb in the woods tonight" said Pyramus that night by the wall. That evening Thisbe arrived and saw no Pryamus. Suddenly a lion leapt out at her and she rushed into the tomb, and in her haste she dropped her shawl.The lion nuzzled the shawl and blood stained it.
A moment later Pyramus came an saw the bloody shawl, and the lion he misunderstood. "Noo!! he cried then he drew his sword and fell on it spraying a mullberry bush red.
At that moment Thisbe came out of the tomb and saw Pyramus lying there dying, with a cry she threw herself on him and she understood. She raised her face to the sky and asked the gods to let her loves blood stain the mullberry bush forever.
Then she fell on the sword her self, and died only to join her love, for not even death could part them.
And to this day Thisbes wish has stayed true to all mulberry bushes that are the scarlet of her loves blood.
