Wife of bath part one

 A folk tale is a story that is highly possible and it may have some make belives in it like a talking flower. The wife of baths is a folktale. The Wife of Bath is about a dumb knight ( Sir Codbrain) who flirts with a young girl who dislikes him. Sir Codbrain is seen by the king and queen who decide to kill him becauses of a crime (flattering). The make belive is that the king and queen decided to kill him for flattering. It's not so much of a make believe but It's still possible. The story is possible and realistic which makes it a folktale.This part of the story sounds logical so this part of the story is a folktale. 

Wife of Baths part two,

Wife of Baths part 2 is still a Folktale.The Queen lets Sir Codsbrain a chance to live by giving him one year to find the the answer to a question, "what is a woman's most desire?", If he didn't find the answer he would be executed. On the last day while going to Camelot Sir Codsbrain met an old woman and was told the answer to the question, in return he had to marry the old woman. This part of the story also still sounds logical so its still a folktale. However at the end the Old Woman becomes a beautiful girl. This is a make believe part because it's impossible to become young again which is also included in a Folktale. Most of the story sounds like it's possible so the Wife of Bath is a folktale.
