The Reeve
The Reeve tells his story after the Miller's becasue the Millers story was about a carpenter being tricked out of money and this offends the Reeve becasue he is a carpenter. He tells a story about a miller who ran a mill next to a brooke and decieves two students traveling by, but once they relise he tricked them, they trick him in return, the best direct text evidence for the high light of the story would be: " And therfore this proverbe is seyd ful sooth, 'Hym thar nat wene wel that yvele dooth'; A gylour shal hymself bigyled be. And God, that sitteth heighte in magestee, Save al this compaignye, grete and smale! Thus have I quyt the Millere in my tale."
