Tale of a Canterbury Tale

My group and I decided to read the Skipper’s Tale. I found the poetry a little dense and hard to understand but I think I got the jist of the tale. The tale seemed to be around three other characters besides the actual skipper. These characters include and merchant, his wife, and a monk. The wife meets with the monk and expresses her disappointment and unhappiness in her marriage. The monk tells her he is willing to help her in whatever way possible. She then tells him that she needs a sum of money by the next day and he says he will pay her. Next, they have sex and then the monk asks the husband for money in order to pay the girl. The monk then pays her the money and the husband goes looking for the monk the next day. He accuses the monk of never paying him back but the monk says he already gave it to the wife. The husband then goes to her and asks for it back but she says she has already spent it. The monk then moves away and the couple lives happily ever after.
