"Thou speakest not amiss, Sancho," answered Don Quixote, "but before that point is reached it is requisite to roam the world, as it were on probation, seeking adventures, in order that, by achieving some, name and fame may be acquired, such that when he betakes himself to the court of some great monarch the knight may be already known by his deeds, and that the boys, the instant they see him enter the gate of the city, may all follow him and surround him, crying, 'This is the Knight of the Sun'-or the Serpent, or any other title under which he may have achieved great deeds.
-No dices mal, Sancho -respondió don Quijote-; mas, antes que se llegue a ese término, es menester andar por el mundo, como en aprobación, buscando las aventuras, para que, acabando algunas, se cobre nombre y fama tal que, cuando se fuere a la corte de algún gran monarca, ya sea el caballero conocido por sus obras; y que, apenas le hayan visto entrar los muchachos por la puerta de la ciudad, cuando todos le sigan y rodeen, dando voces, diciendo: ''Éste es el Caballero del Sol'', o de la Sierpe, o de otra insignia alguna, debajo de la cual hubiere acabado grandes hazañas.
