This story is the legend of saint Valentine's festivity. Over 1000 years ago, at the Roman empire age, there was an emperor called Claudius. He wanted to conquer new lands and he needed of lots of men for his army. He did a new law that said that people couldn't get married. Valentine was a priest and he started to marry people secretely. Claudius discovered the secret and put him in a prison. People were very sad and started to bring flowers and messages to the prison window. A day, a guard's daughter visited Valentine and so they became very good friends. But Claudius decided to kill him, because he didn't respect his law. On the 14th February, Valentine, before be killed, wrote a message for the girl, saying "from your Valentine". I think that it's a wonderful story, but very tragic. I really like this saint Valentine's legend.
