Read the passage.

excerpt from Chanticleer and the Fox, adapted and dramatized from Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer

CHANTICLEER: Oh! (clearly upset) I had the most horrible dream. I thought that, as I roamed down by the wood, a beast like a dog sprang out and seized me. His color was red, his nose was small, and his eyes were like coals of fire. Ugh! It was terrible! (Chanticleer moans loudly and shudders.)

DAME PARTLET: Tut, tut! (in a scornful manner) Are you a coward to be frightened by a dream? You’ve been eating more than was good for you. I wish my husband to be wise and brave if he would keep my love! (She smooths her feathers, coos, and slowly closes her scarlet eyes.)
