Don Quixote was not very well satisfied with the divinations of the ape, as he did not think it proper that an ape should divine anything, either past or future; so while Master Pedro was arranging the show, he retired with Sancho into a corner of the stable, where, without being overheard by anyone, he said to him, "Look here, Sancho, I have been seriously thinking over this ape's extraordinary gift, and have come to the conclusion that beyond doubt this Master Pedro, his master, has a pact, tacit or express, with the devil."
Don Quijote no estaba muy contento con las adivinanzas del mono, por parecerle no ser a propósito que un mono adivinase, ni las de por venir, ni las pasadas cosas; y así, en tanto que maese Pedro acomodaba el retablo, se retiró don Quijote con Sancho a un rincón de la caballeriza, donde, sin ser oídos de nadie, le dijo: -Mira, Sancho, yo he considerado bien la estraña habilidad deste mono, y hallo por mi cuenta que sin duda este maese Pedro, su amo, debe de tener hecho pacto, tácito o espreso, con el demonio.
