Andaluzia Árabe
combinámos ir a terra de mouros,
esmolando por amor de Deus,
para que lá nos decapitassem
... levando alguma coisa para comer,
saiu com seu irmão da casa de seu pai,
combinaram os dois ir a terra de mouros,
onde lhes cortassem a cabeça por Jesus Cristo.
E, saindo pela porta do Adaja...
atravessaram a ponte mais adiante,
até que um tio seu os encontrou** e os fez regressar a casa...
O pequenito desculpava-se dizendo que sua irmã
o tinha feito tomar aquele caminho.

“All I know is that while I’m asleep, I’m never afraid, and I have no hopes, no struggles, no glories — and bless the man who invented sleep, a cloak over all human thought, food that drives away hunger, water that banishes thirst, fire that heats up cold, chill that moderates passion, and, finally, universal currency with which all things can be bought, weight and balance that brings the shepherd and the king, the fool and the wise, to the same level. There’s only one bad thing about sleep, as far as I’ve ever heard, and that is that it resembles death, since there’s very little difference between a sleeping man and a corpse”

“Destiny guides our fortunes more favorably than we could have expected. Look there, Sancho Panza, my friend, and see those thirty or so wild giants, with whom I intend to do battle and kill each and all of them, so with their stolen booty we can begin to enrich ourselves. This is nobel, righteous warfare, for it is wonderfully useful to God to have such an evil race wiped from the face of the earth."
"What giants?" Asked Sancho Panza.
"The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long."
"Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone."
"Obviously," replied Don Quijote, "you don't know much about adventures.”
