Friar told a tale about the
Summoner which evoked
anger in him, so he
decided to tell a tale about
the Friar.
A Friar goes down to Hell
and is surprised to see that
there was not a single Friar
there. Were they so great
and had escaped evil?
The Angel that had taken
the Friar to Hell then asked
Satan to lift up his tale and
20,000 Friars came out of
his butt.

The Friar was constantly
begging people for
money in Yorkshire.
The Friar went door to
door asking for money
when he arrived at
Thomas’s house and
found him sick.
The Friar tells Thomas
and his wife that their
baby that had died a few
weeks ago had entered
heavens gates.

The Friar exclaims that he is closest to God
among the clergy because he is in poverty.
He tells Thomas that he is not getting better
because he has not given enough money to
the church.
Thomas admits that he has given a lot of
money to the church, but it has just been
dispersed among the multiple friars which
angers the Friar.
He wanted all his money for himself.

The Friar preached at Thomas
and then asked for money.
Thomas told the Friar that he
had a gift for him, but only if he
was willing to share it with the
other friars.
The Friar promised and Thomas
gave him a gift, a nice loud fart.
The Friar was enraged and went
to tell the lord of the village.
The lord’s squire had a
suggestion for sharing the fart
with the other friars. He
suggested a wheel that would
carry the fart and disperse it
amongst the friars.
