A Bath's Tale

Decent Essays
In a far away kingdom there is a king and a queen. They don’t have any children and they always say “We wish we could have a child”. This is their only wish. One day while the queen is having a bath a frog creeps out of the water and says “You may have a daughter in a year”.
The frog is right. The king and the queen have a little daughter. The king is very happy and he gives a big feast in his castle. His friends and the wise women come to this feast. He has only 12 golden plates for 13 wise women so one of them stays at home.
The feast is very nice and rich and all the guests enjoy themselves. The wise women are so happy that they give magic gifts to the little girl. One gives virtue, another beauty, a third riches, and so on…..

    The Wife of Bath Tale can be connected to life today and teaches a message that is universal, no matter the time period that everyone should learn.
