Suddenly the skies fell and the earth cracked.Liang’s tomb split open.Seizing this opportunity, Zhu jumped into the tomb,and soon the tomb closed, burying Zhu inside.
Then the rain passed off, and the sky cleared up; the wind abated, and waves calmed down.
A couple of butterflies danced gracefully among the wild flowers.

而祝員外已將祝英臺許配給馬公子。兩年後,梁山伯去祝家莊拜訪祝英臺,才知道所謂的“妹妹”就是祝英臺自己。梁山伯後悔不叠,從此壹病不起,不久便病死了。
