Standing in the blazing sun I could feel my heart racing as I carefully scanned the field for the ball. I could see Choochi had possession and he was running towards me with a sinister smile. He took a stance a few feet away from me and gave me a nod as his leg swung back. Before I was able to see his foot make contact with the ball I heard it in the net behind me.

This can be seen in certain parts of the novel: The Battle of the Windmills‚ Don Quixote’s stay with the Duke and Duchess‚ and finally with Alonso Quixano’s
