The Nun's Priest's Tale

The Nun's Priest Tale is another amazing Canterbury Tales that narrated the story of a poor widow who lived in a little cottage with her daughters. She had some animals, from who she depended in order to eat "She eet ful many a slendre meal". These animals were three pigs, three cows, a sheep and some chickens.  Unlike other tales, this tale demonstrated that not all the widows were riches and selfish like the widow from the Wife of Bath's Tale. She remarried more than five times, just looking for money and position, in the other hand, the Nun's Priest Tale's widow, she preferred to live a simple and honored life with her children and animals. She had one particular chicken, his name was Chauntecleer, and his singing was his talent.
