<u>Answer</u>:
The parables in the monk's tale tell us about the intentions of the monk that the Monk is lost in his own preaching or speech.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Parable” is a short fiction story that illustrates or teaches a moral or religious value associated with it.
‘The Monk’s tale’ is a series of tragic stories which teach that one should not blindly trust prosperity as one’s fate keep changing. Chaucer’s intent is to make fun of parables and people who told them. This is because monk is only telling tragic stories to people. He is himself lost in his preaching to other people.

b) He is blessed with good timing and luck.
Part B:
b) 'Poor little blighter,' said William. He had already had as much supper as he could hold; also, he had had lots of beer. 'Poor little blighter! Let him go!'
e) "The day grew lighter and warmer as they floated along. After a while, the river rounded a steep shoulder of land that came down upon their left ... Suddenly the cliff fell away. The shores sank. The trees ended. Then Bilbo saw a sight: The lands opened wide about him, filled with the waters of the river which broke up and wandered in a hundred winding courses."

Based on chapter 9 and 10, we can infer that Bilbo is blessed with timing and luck.
In the line that starts with 'poor little blighter...', Bilbo is lucky because as he gets caught up, he does not end up being cooked because at that time, William had just eaten and was full of food and beer.
In the second instance, "The day grew lighter and warmer as they floated along......, Bilbo finally got to see the lonely mountain that he had come far to see. There, felt fortunate as he listened to the information that the raftsmen let fall.
