The Tale Of The Pardoner
The tale is about three drunken and debauched men set out from a pub to find and kill death. They had came across an old man that tells them that he has asked Death to take him but has failed. He directed them to the foot of an oak tree so they can find death. But instead they found a large amount of gold coins and forgot about their quest to kill Death. The three men draw straws to see who among them should fetch wine and food while the other two wait under the tree. The youngest of the three men drew the shortest straw. The two plot to overpower and stab the other one when he returns, while the one who leaves for the town plots to lace the wine with rat poison. When he returns with the food and drink, the other two kill him and drink the poisoned wine, dying slow and painful deaths. All three have found death.
