There is also the common person Amanda who Sir Codsbrain is flirting with. Overall because of its features this is a folk tale because it's realistic, set in ordinary world and it has peasants.

The Nuns priest 

Fable's have talking animals also has moral ending that teach you something about life or death or something that you should or shouldn't do,the animals are almost human like because they have a big role in the story.the Nuns preist is a fable because it has talking animals and a moral ending. For example it has talking animals such as chanticleer and sir Russell fox like in the story chanticleer says eat me up! Eat me up! No chance, you stupid fox I am  chanticleer, the greatest singing cock, the cleverest singing cock. And sir Russell fox says shucks! I'd better go raid some dustbins. This also has a moral that you should be on your guard against flatters and all those who open their mouths when they should keep them shut!. In this chanticleer is flattered because the fox says "Don't run away. I'm an opra fan! I've come to listen to your beautiful voice."
