"Wit and Wisdom of Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is a compilation of wise sayings and funny thoughts taken from the story of Don Quixote. It shows the deep but funny insights of the characters, especially the dreaming knight, Don Quixote, and his sensible helper, Sancho Panza. This writing probably aims to emphasize the differences between old-fashioned knightly dreams and the real world, while also displaying the humor and cleverness that the original story has. Beginning the journey, readers meet the funny heart of Don Quixote, seeing how he imagines himself as a great knight ready for adventure. The story tells about Don Quixote getting ready—finding armor, naming his horse Rozinante, and pretending to be a fancy knight from La Mancha. Through his funny troubles, he seems both serious and silly as he plans heroic acts, showing the wonderful craziness and deep humor that makes Cervantes' story so unforgettable.
