It’s nearing the end of the pilgrimage. The Host has narrowed the contest down to two stories, The Shipman’s Tale and The Franklin’s Tale. Suspense is in the air, who will win? The Canterbury Tales is about a diverse group of people who embarked on an adventure to visit the shrine of Thomas a’Beckett. Along the way, The Host came up with the brilliant idea of commencing a storytelling contest. The contest consisted of the following regulations: each contestant must tell a total of four stories, two on the way to the destination and two on the way back; it must be entertaining, it must be morally sound, and The Host is the one and only judge. The winner is awarded with a free meal at the Tabard Inn and the loser gets the privilege to pay for everyone else’s meals. The Shipman’s tale will undoubtedly win the storytelling contest because it kept the audience’s attention due to a twist and The Host praised the The Shipman for an excellent story. And although The Shipman’s Tale is not very morally sound, it still taught a lesson that every man should know.
