The Pardoner's Tale and middle English

I had a very hard time reading, understanding, and reading the Pardoner's tale as my only copy was the middle english version in our book. I got very little of the story and only know that through out the story there were gold coins, brothels, and 3 rioters. Anybody else having problems? I know the Pardoner is not virtuous or anything close to it from all the brothels in the story and the coins, but I couldn't get much else. Please help explain what the story is or if you have a english version post it or the link please :D that would help tremendously!!
