— Todo eso no me descontenta; prosigue adelante —dijo don Quijote—. "All that is not unsatisfactory to me," said Don Quixote. Llegaste, ¿y qué hacía aquella reina de la hermosura? "Go on; thou didst reach her; and what was that queen of beauty doing? A buen seguro que la hallaste ensartando perlas, o bordando alguna empresa con oro de cañutillo para este su cautivo caballero. Surely thou didst find her stringing pearls, or embroidering some device in gold thread for this her enslaved knight."
— No la hallé —respondió Sancho— sino ahechando dos hanegas de trigo en un corral de su casa. "I did not," said Sancho, "but I found her winnowing two bushels of wheat in the yard of her house."
— Pues haz cuenta —dijo don Quijote— que los granos de aquel trigo eran granos de perlas, tocados de sus manos. "Then depend upon it," said Don Quixote, "the grains of that wheat were pearls when touched by her hands; and didst thou look, friend? ¿era blanco o pardo? was it white wheat or brown?"
—Ni lo uno ni lo otro, sino colorado —dijo Sancho. "It was neither, but red," said Sancho.
