Don Quixote
Don Quixote bodde i en liten landsby i Spania.
Don Quixote lived in a small village in Spain.
Han leste mange bøker om riddere, helter og eventyr.
He read many books about knights, heroes, and adventures.
Han ble så opptatt av disse bøkene at han bestemte seg for å bli ridder selv.
He became so obsessed with these stories that he decided to become a knight himself.
Han tok på seg en gammel rustning, fant en gammel hest som het Rocinante, og kalte seg selv "Don Quixote".
He put on an old suit of armor, found an old horse named Rocinante, and called himself "Don Quixote."
Han trengte også en venn, og derfor ba han bonden Sancho Panza bli med.
He also needed a companion, so he asked a farmer named Sancho Panza to join him.
Sancho fikk en liten esel å ri på.
Sancho rode on a small donkey.
Don Quixote ville hjelpe folk og kjempe mot urettferdighet.
Don Quixote wanted to help people and fight against injustice.
Men ofte forsto han ikke virkeligheten riktig.
But often he misunderstood reality.
En gang trodde han at store vindmøller var farlige kjemper.
One time he thought that large windmills were dangerous giants.
Han red mot dem med spydet sitt, men møllens vinger slo ham til jorden.
He charged at them with his lance, but the wings of the windmill knocked him to the ground.
Sancho prøvde å forklare hva som skjedde, men Don Quixote var sikker på at en ond trollmann hadde forvandlet kjempene til møller.
Sancho tried to explain what had happened, but Don Quixote was certain that an evil magician had turned the giants into windmills.
Han ga aldri opp drømmen om å være en modig ridder.
He never gave up his dream of being a brave knight.
Sammen reiste Don Quixote og Sancho Panza gjennom landsbygda.

Don Quixote så eventyr overalt, og Sancho fulgte ham, ofte med tvil, men også med lojalitet.

Til slutt ble Don Quixote sliten og syk.
In the end, Don Quixote grew tired and sick.
Han dro hjem til landsbyen sin.
He returned to his village.
Der forsto han at han ikke var en ridder, men bare en mann med store drømmer.
There he realized that he was not a knight, but only a man with great dreams.
Kort tid etter døde han, men minnene om ham levde videre.
Soon after, he died, but the memories of him lived on.
