Commentary Sancho, fallen into a pit, imagines that he will be found dead; "De aquí sacarán mis huesos, cuando el cielo sea servido que me descubran, mondos, blancos y raídos, y los de mi buen rucio con ellos" (55:2).
The scene, very original, has certain macabre sense.
Notice that the donkey conserves his ears to be recognized.
