The pardoners tale is basically about these guys who find out their friend is dead and so they ask who killed him (even if it was just disease because this is the 1400's people) and they say death himself killed their poor friend so still being a bit tipsy they all agree to go out and find death and kill him ( talk about irony huh?) so they head out to go find death when they run into an old man who is like a really old man, he was really old like he should be dead old.They go to this old man and ask him " why are you still alive and do you know where death is at?" ( why would you ask someone why they are not dead yet? yes hes old but that's rude) so this old man tells them that death is in the forest and they go not knowing death was the old man who they were just talking too. Now they go into the forest and go to the tree death told them to look at, and under that tree was gold. All the men were happy and rejoicing, they all decided to take the gold at night when no one was watching. They grew bored of waiting and wanted something to drink, one of the three men went into a local town to get drinks. the man went into town and got drinks but he had an idea, what if he could have all the gold if he poisoned the drinks, while on the other hand the two men in the woods were planning on killing the man who was in town in order to gain more money. The men were reunited again but the two rioters stuck to their plan and killed the man with the drinks, to rejoice they drank the drinks and killed themselves with the poison.
what we learn from this is don't go looking for death or it may find you.
