Answer 2

The Nun’s Priest’s  story is an animal fable with a moral lesson. In an attempt to forget about the last story, he is asked to tell his story about a tragedy. The Knight calls on the priest to deliver a story of the good fortune. He begins with the introduction  by introducing a rooster named Chanticleer, who is owned by an elderly poor widow. Chanticleer is called beautiful and an immaculate Rooster (male-hen).

Explanation:

• Chanticleer has many hen-wives, Pertelote is his most magnificient . Chanticleer has a nightmare about someone trying to kill him but his  wife Pertelote doesn't care about his fears. In an attempt to make her take his dream seriously, he repeats that "kills will show themselves" and gives facts, but without success.
• While Chanticleer tells his dreams to Pertelote, she does not believe him  and defies his bad dreams (she quotes Lo Catoun , a great Romanwriter who said that  Pay not attention to your dreams) and calls him a coward. Then Pertelote tells Chanticleer and ask him to have some herbs which would act as a laxative

"Now, sire”, quod she, “When we flee fro the bemes

or Goddess love, as taak som laxative"

• Pertelote says Chanticleer that when they fly down from the rafters  (part of the roof) in the morning (when the Chanticleer crows in the morning from the roof top, like how roosters usually do), Chanticleer must take a laxative, for the sake of God's love, and purge his body of whatever it was that gave him those nightmares of someone killing him.

"Up peril of my soule and o lif,

I counseille yow the beeste, I wol nat lye"

• Pertelote  says she swears to God she is only trying to help Chanticleer. And since there is no pharmacy in this town, She would show Chanticleer the herbs that are growing in their yard which Chanticleer must take to purge his system
• As the story proceeds, Chanticleer discovers that he and his wives are watched by a fox soon after, but the fox warns Chanticleer not be afraid of him. He listens to the fox and gets caught up. He is deluded by the flattery of the fox  which brings us to the moral of the story-never trust a flatterer. He then flatters the fox back and because of which the fox ends up releasing Chanticleer who leaps fly into a tree
