Once upon a time, there was a kind man named Valentine. He lived many years ago in Rome.

2
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:15,860
Valentine was very friendly and loved to help people. He always had a smile on his face and

3
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:23,000
made everyone feel happy. One day, the emperor of Rome, Emperor Claudius, decided that soldiers

4
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,879
should not get married. He thought that married soldiers did not fight well in wars.

00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:36,100
But Valentine disagreed. He believed that love was important and that everyone should be able

10
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:06,560
He ordered that Valentine be put in prison. But even in prison, Valentine remained kind and

11
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:12,400
cheerful. He even made friends with the jailer's daughter and cured her of her blindness.

12
00:01:13,519 --> 00:01:19,920
On February 14, the day Valentine was executed, he wrote a letter to the jailer's daughter and

13
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:23,120
signed it, From Your Valentine. This is why
