I know you've always been looking for one, so I thought I'd come over for suggestions.

My country's local legends are always full of dying characters. I mean, more so than usual. The old man in the Legend on Pasig River plays a rather tiny role, but he does die in the middle of the story. He's also really rich and happens to decide to give all his money to the girl. The story is mostly about two lovers who are separated by two hills and cry every night until they make a river.

There's also a weirder epic called Biag ni Lam-ang which is translated into The Epic of Lam-ang. It's rather long, very weird and I happen to have found a translation.

The poem is incredibly weirdly plotted, but Lam-ang dies, gets revived via bone magic and lives Happily Ever After.

And if my native folklore isn't okay, there is an Ovidian version sort of similar to Romeo and Juliet, yet more fairytale-ish than Shakespeare's tale. Pyramus and Thisbe. Same plot as Romeo and Juliet, but I see Pyramus and Thisbe to be more fairytale-ish than it. Of course, the admins can always come by to correct me if I'm wrong.

I can also hand names of either, if you'd like.
