The squire and his story differ a fair amount from his father's story. The first is that the father is confident in his story and doesn't take the time to say that he has no experience. The squire is more than hesitant, but still willing to tell the story because he was asked to do so. But none the less, he has no experience in the story they are asking him to tell; unlike his father. His father had a story already prepared beforehand. The squire seems to glorify being a knight and doing knightly things. This is more than likely because he dreams of when he can become a knight and do these actions. They are more dreamlike, and hopeful than anything else. The father's story seems much more down to earth, realistic and almost historical. …show more content…

Additionally, in the squire's story it talks about how a bird left another bird for a bird of lower class. This could represent something that the squire wish had happened in his life. Since squires are lower class than knights, it is entirely possible he had a love interest. However, this love interest was either stolen by a knight, and won her love or something similar. As such, in this story the squire is possibly talking about what he wished had happened. This is also supported by the fact that he seems to romanticize being a knight and getting all of the benefits of being a knight. The knight seems to have no illusion of being another class or anything. His stories almost seem almost more matured and thought out with different elements to consider. His story has potential for plot twists, many different elements and other similar devices. The other interesting part of the squire's story is cut off, but it talks enough for you to see that Cambalo won his wife, which is very odd considering it's his
