Step-by-step explanation:
In the story 'The Canterbury Tales' by Geoffrey Chaucer, the School Master's wave throws Agatha and Sophie into a moat. This event occurs in 'Miller's Tale' when Nicholas, a student, persuades Agatha and Sophie to have an affair with him.
To escape detection by Agatha's jealous husband, Nicholas convinces Agatha and Sophie to climb into tubs that he has placed in the moat and then pretends that a flood is coming and urges them to hang on until it subsides.
