Once upon a time, in a small village in Spain, there lived a man named Don Quijote. He was not like the others in the village. Don Quijote loved to read books about knights and their adventures.

One day, Don Quijote decided that he wanted to become a knight himself. He believed that he could make the world a better place by fighting for justice and helping those in need. So, he put on an old suit of armor and grabbed a rusty sword.

Don Quijote’s family and friends thought he had gone mad. They tried to convince him that he was just a simple farmer, not a knight. But Don Quijote didn’t listen. He believed in his dream and set off on his trusty old horse, Rocinante.

As he traveled through the countryside, Don Quijote encountered windmills. In his imagination, he saw them as giants threatening the land. He charged at them with his sword, thinking he was saving the world from their evil. But, of course, the windmills were just windmills, and Don Quijote was only tilting at imaginary enemies.

Throughout his journey, Don Quijote met many interesting characters. He mistook a simple inn for a grand castle and the innkeeper for a noble lord. He even fell in love with a beautiful woman named Dulcinea, who was just a figment of his imagination.

Despite all the challenges and misunderstandings, Don Quijote never gave up on his dream. He continued to fight for what he believed in, even when others laughed at him. His adventures became famous, and people started to admire his bravery and determination.

In the end, Don Quijote realized that his dream of becoming a knight was just a fantasy. But he also learned that it’s important to follow your heart and never stop believing in yourself, no matter what others may say.

And so, Don Quijote returned to his village, still wearing his armor and carrying his sword. Although he was no longer a knight, he had become a hero in the eyes of those who knew his story. And his legacy lived on, inspiring others to chase their dreams and fight for what they believe in.

And that, my dear pupil, is the story of Don Quijote de la Mancha.
