In the episode of the Knight of the Lions, Don Quixote confronts a captured lion being brought to the king, demands the cage be opened, and declares his intention to fight the lion; the lion yawns and goes back to sleep, yet no one has grounds to doubt Don Quixote's courage since he would fight if he could.

“he chases the wagoneer off the wagon and he says open the gate of that cage...the lion just sits there...although he doesn't actually fight the lion there is no one who has any good grounds for believing that don quixote is not a courageous man”
