Sancho ran to his ass to get something wherewith to clean himself, and relieve his master, out of his alforjas; but not finding them, he well-nigh took leave of his senses, and cursed himself anew, and in his heart resolved to quit his master and return home, even though he forfeited the wages of his service and all hopes of the promised island.
Acudió Sancho a su asno para sacar de las alforjas con qué limpiarse y con qué curar a su amo; y, como no las halló, estuvo a punto de perder el juicio. Maldíjose de nuevo, y propuso en su corazón de dejar a su amo y volverse a su tierra, aunque perdiese el salario de lo servido y las esperanzas del gobierno de la prometida ínsula.
