"Don't mistake your windmills for giants"

"Don't mistake your windmills for giants"

"No hay que confundir los molinos con gigantes"


A small excerpt from the story of Don Quixote and Sancho Panza  (that's 'Kee-Ho-Tay' & 'Pantha'


Campo de Criptana, where Don Quixote said to Sancho: "You see yonder Sancho, advance thirty or more mighty giants with which I shall engage in dreadful battle, and with the booty will we start to become rich."

En Castellano/In Spanish that would be.......Estamos en Campo de Criptana. Fue donde dijo Don Quijote a Sancho: "¿Ves, Sancho, allí donde se mueven treinta o más desaforados gigantes con los que voy a entablar singular batalla y con sus despojos empezaremos a enriquecernos?"

Well... it was his imagination, he mistook the windmills for giants, and that is the origin of the saying: "Don't mistake your windmills for giants" .....

En castellano/In Spanish........ era una ficción, pero los confundía a los molinos con gigantes, y esto quedó de refrán, pues dice "No hay que confundir los molinos con gigantes" ...
