Don Quixote was pleased that the master of the castle�� that is, the inn-keeper�� was so polite. He replied happily, "It is easy to please me, sir; a soldier's needs are very simple."

The inn-keeper helped Don Quixote to get down from his horse. The old man was very weak because
he had eaten nothing all day. "Please take care of my horse," he said, "he is the best horse in all the world."

Don Quixote Is Looked After

The inn-keeper gave one look at poor Rozinante, but saw nothing to praise. He quickly took the animal away, and came back to look after his unusual guest. During this time, Don Quixote had allowed the women to ta
ke off his heavy armour. When they had finished, they asked him if he wanted anything to eat. "A simple supper is all I wish," answered Don Quixote. They told him they had only a little fish, so he as
ked them to bring it.

When the fish came it was the poorest kind, and smelt very bad. The table was outside because the room was so hot. So there Don Quixote sat down to have his sup
per. When he had nearly finished, a country workman walked past, playing some simple music.
唐吉诃德很高兴这座城堡的堡主--就是指客栈老板--这么有礼貌。 他快乐地回答说:「要使我欢喜是很容易的,先生。一个军人所求是非常简单的。」
客栈老板扶唐吉诃德从马上下来。 因为他一整天什么也没吃,这个老头非常虚弱。 「请照顾我的马儿,」他说:「它是全世界最棒的马了。」

唐吉诃德受到招待。
客栈老板朝洛稷喃特望了一眼,却看不出有什么值得称赞的地方。 他很快就把那只动物牵走,然后回来招呼他这个非比寻常的客人。 这时候,唐吉诃德已经让那两个女人帮他把笨重的甲冑脱掉了。 等她们脱完之后,就问他是不是想吃什么东西? 「我只求简单的一顿晚餐。」唐吉诃德回答。 她们告诉他只有一条小鱼,于是他就要求她们把那条小鱼拿来。
然而拿进来的那条鱼竟是那种最差劲的鱼,并且味道非常难闻。 因为屋子里非常热,所以把桌子摆在外边。 而唐吉诃德就坐在那里享用他的晚餐。 当他快要吃完的时候,一个乡下工人经过,正弹奏着一些简单的音乐。
