Don't Call Me Chicken

In the  Canterbury Tales there is a tale that involves beasts, in this case chickens, in

 close relation to 𝘈𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘱'𝘴 𝘍𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴. In the story’ there is a fox and there are chickens. In 𝘈𝘦𝘴𝘰𝘱'𝘴 𝘍𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴, most

 likely you are going to see a chicken being associated with a coward and a fox being associated with someone who tricks someone someone. This true with the exact same principle in "The Nun's Priest's Tale.

in our story there is a chicken who is having bad dreams about a fox that will come and kill him.

His girlfriend tells him not to worry about it and that he'll be fine. he concurs. Later a fox comes and tricks him by saying that he wants the chicken to sing for him. He sings and then gets caught by the fox then, after the fox catches him, the fox gets tricked by the chicken. So the moral is, kind of, trickery can be both a good and bad thing.

as has been the case in all modern literature
