Book Review 12
I read "The Wife of Bath's Tale-What do women want most?" written by Geoffrey Chaucer. Once there was a young knight who had done a very bad thing: he had broken the laws which all knights must keep. King Arthur said "He must die." But the queen and her ladies were sad because they liked the young knight very much. So the queen thought for a little time, then she said to the knight, "You shall live, if you can tell me that answer to this question: What does a aomen want most of all?" The knight thought it's very hard question, if he cannot find out the answer, he must die. He asked many kinds of people, and he got some answers. Many of the answers seemed very good answers, but none of them seemed to be right. At last a year had passed, the knight had to go back and take his answer to the queen. He worried about his life, then suddenly, one very old, very ugly woman sat near him. She gave him right answer with one condition. Her wish is marry with this knight, so she proposed marriage to him, but he said don't want to marry. But the knight and her talked each other for a long time, he loved her. And then, they married and lived happily together all their lives.
