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.
