  1. The Nun’s Priest Maharshi Patel

  2. Summary The story starts by introducing a old lady who only had a couple possessions: three sows, three cows, a sheep, and some roosters. One of her roosters, Chanticleer, is a great singer and a lady’s man. He is described to have a comb that is redder than a fine coral, a jet black bill, and spurs that are whiter than a lily flower. Chanticleer has seven wives, but the most loved one is Pertelote. One night, Chanticleer has a dream that a dog-like creature kills him. Pertelote tells him that he should be brave and also promises to find some herbs to help him with this problem.

  3. Summary (cont.) Chanticleer tells Pertelote that the dream was meaningful and cites come examples of people that were killed after seeing a dream that they had been killed in. One day, when Chanticleer and his seven wives are enjoying a sunny day, a sly fox stalks them. Later, Chanticleer sees the fox and crows loudly. The fox tells Chanticleer not to worry and proceeds to praise Chanticleer’s voice. When Chanticleer is about to sing, the fox grabs him by his throat and goes to the forest. Pertelote realized that Chanticleer has been taken and cries out loudly.

  4. Summary (cont.) • The old lady and her daughters hear the cry and run after the fox. Chanticleer suggests that the fox should brag to the people that are following him. As the fox does this, Chanticleer climbs up a tree. The story ends with the fox trying to convince Chanticleer to come down.
