Description
-
Don Quixote and Sancho Panza take up lodging in an inn, but soon after Quixote falls asleep, Panza runs to seek aid from the innkeeper. The squire explains that Quixote is doing battle with a giant in their room as they speak. Sancho Panza, the barber, the innkeeper and other residing guests all seek out Quixote to see what the commotion is about. Upon entering his room they find Quixote slashing about in all directions uttering exclamations as if he was fighting a giant. His eyes are closed for he is asleep, and his battle with a giant is nothing but a dream. Believing he was fighting with a giant he slashed all around, slashing open the wine skins so that the win pooled around his feet.
