About 350 years ago, there was a man who was named Alonso Quijano. He loved the stories of chivalry. He read and read, and soon he was indulged in it. The dangerous stories in the book of chivalry made him mad, so he decided to be a knight. He found an old armor and a weak horse. He called himself “Don Quixote de la Mancha”, and he chose a lady who was called Aldonza Lorenzo (he called her “Dulcinea del Toboso”) to love and obey as a knight in those stories. He also found a squire who was called Sancho Panza.

Don Quixote and Sancho Panza went on their long and exciting trip：They fought with the people who threw his armor; They fought with the ‘giant’(They were just some windmills); They thought the priests were the ‘wicked magician’, and the woman in carriage were ‘princess’, so they attacked the priests and rescued the ‘princess’; They beat the officers and rescued the prisoners…But finally, Don Quixote was ill. Suddenly, he knew that he had done a lot of crazy things, so he was not mad anymore at the end of his life.

Don Quixote was crazy, but he was also kind, wise and brave. He could keep doing something he wants. He always explored things that he didn’t know. If you have difficulties, and you don’t know what results you will have, what will you do? I will do just like Don Quixote. No matter what the result is, just do it! Two years ago, I bought some exercise books for my final exam. Because I had few time to do exercise, I only did a few important exercise. Can it affect my point? I didn’t know. But at last, I had 100 points!

Lots of people laugh at Don Quixote’s crazy adventure. But I loved his adventure, because Don Quixote not only was wise, kind, brave, but also insisted his mind.
