A friar, who goes about seeking contributions, promises prayers and possible salvation in exchange for anything his parishioners will give. Once back at the convent, the friar promptly forgets to make the promised prayers. One day, the friar goes to the home of old Thomas, a rich but uneducated old man who has been ill for a long time.
Short Summary: In Yorkshire, at Holdernesse, a friar making his rounds, begging from householders, calls upon old Thomas, who is very ill. The wife tells him Thomas is grouchy, and the friar preaches a sermon on the evils of anger. Then he presses Thomas for a rich gift; Thomas says he has already given all he can, but the friar persists.

The Summoner’s Tale, one of the 24 stories in The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Told in retaliation for the Friar’s unflattering portrait of a summoner, this earthy tale describes a hypocritical friar’s attempt to wheedle a gift from an ailing benefactor.
