The translator of this story adds a remark when he reaches the fifth chapter. This chapter seems fake to him, he says. Sancho talks in a style beyond his usual short wits and says subtle things he could not possibly know.

All the same, to do the job he had taken on, the translator put this chapter into Spanish without leaving it out.

Sancho comes home so overjoyed that his wife sees it on him from a crossbow-shot away.
