The Notable Dispute Between the Canon and Don Quixote, with Other Matters.
To prove his point, Don Quixote describes for the canon an imaginative incident from his readings, where a knight dives into a burning, creature-filled lake only to find himself on a rich estate and served by lovely damsels in a magnificent castle. Furthermore, declares Don Quixote, in a few days, I shall myself expect to be made a king of some realm or other by grace of my valorous arm, and shall reward my squire, "who is the best little man in the world," with an earldom. The canon can only marvel at the extravagant fancies of the madman. Suddenly, a fugitive she-goat bursts through the underbrush and joins them. The goatherd follows, talking and scolding the beast as if it were human. To explain this manner of speaking, he prettily tells a story.
