** "The Winter's Tale" by William Shakespeare is a story that looks at big ideas like being jealous, making up for mistakes, and how complicated love can be. It starts in Sicilia with King Leontes, who gets super jealous and thinks his wife, Queen Hermione, is cheating on him with his best friend, King Polixenes from Bohemia; even although she's pregnant. The play mixes sad and funny parts to show how life can be both good and bad. At first, Leontes and Polixenes are great friends, but things change when Leontes thinks Hermione and Polixenes like each other too much. People like Camillo try to warn Leontes that he's wrong, but it's no use. Leontes's jealousy gets worse and worse, leading to terrible things happening to everyone. **
