The story of Cupid comes from the mythology. Once upon a time there was a

very beautiful girl, Psyche. She was so beautiful that Venus, the goddess of

love and beauty, was very jealous. Venus asked her son Cupid to make Psyche

fall in love with a horrible monster. However, when Cupid saw Psyche he

pricked himself with the arrow and fell deeply in love with Psyche.
After many adventures, they were married and lived happily ever after.
