Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra

Of the omens Don Quixote had as he entered his own village, and other incidents that embellish and give a colour to this great history.

At the entrance of the village, so says Cide Hamete, Don Quixote saw two boys quarrelling on the village threshing-floor, one of whom said to the other, "Take it easy, Periquillo; thou shalt never see it again as long as thou livest."
