Hello, we are in San Miguel Arcángel, a school in Morafoncal, a village next to Madrid, in Spain.

2
00:00:10,539 --> 00:00:15,539
We have been learning about Cervantes. He is a very famous Spanish writer.

3
00:00:15,539 --> 00:00:24,539
He was born in 1547 and he died in 1617, the same day that Shakespeare was born.

4
00:00:24,539 --> 00:00:31,539
He was born in Madrid and he lived in a literary area along with other Spanish writers.

5
00:00:31,539 --> 00:00:39,539
He had a very difficult life, and he lost an arm in the Battle of Levante.

6
00:00:39,539 --> 00:00:53,619
To celebrate Cervantes, we have read his stories, we have made colors to look like him, and we decorated our school.

7
00:00:53,619 --> 00:01:01,619
Cervantes knows a lot, but his most famous story was Don Quixote de la Mancha.

8
00:01:01,619 --> 00:01:09,620
Don Quixote is about a man who reads a lot of books about knights and he wants to become a knight.

9
00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:18,620
He reads so many books that he starts to think that women are giants and he imagines that Don Quixote is a very beautiful princess.

10
00:01:18,620 --> 00:01:26,620
Don Quixote travels around Castilla-La Manza on his horse, Rocinante, and with his famous work, Santa Pan.

11
00:01:26,620 --> 00:01:34,620
The meeting that Don Quixote does to us in the books is to defend the helpless and do what knights do in the books simply.

12
00:01:35,620 --> 00:01:40,620
In Don Quixote de la Mancha there are many sayings that we will use today.

13
00:01:41,620 --> 00:01:47,620
Spanish children learn about Miguel de Cervantes. We are very proud of him.
