Chapter Six: Friar Felipe
Captain Ramon returns to the Presidio.
He is furious.
"I must punish Lolita, her family and Zorro for their insults!" he thinks. "I must write a letter to the Governor. I must tell him that Don Carlos Pulido and his family are traitors. They are Zorro's friends. They help him."
He writes the letter and sends it to the Governor.
He smiles and says, "I want to see the Pulido family in prison!"
"I want to see you in prison!" says a man's voice.
Captain Ramon turns around and sees Zorro.
"You are a villain. Fight me but don't hurt the Pulido family!" says Zorro.
"Sergeant Gonzales, come quickly!" says the Captain. "Zorro is here."
Zorro disappears.
"I am here, Captain," says Sergeant Gonzales.
"Take all the soldiers and find Zorro! We must capture him."
The soldiers follow Zorro.
The night is dark. It is difficult to follow him because his horse is very fast.
The next morning, the soldiers return to the Presidio.
They are tired and angry.
Zorro is still free.
There are many people in front of the Presidio that morning.
Don Diego is there too.
Something is happening.
An old friar is standing before the magistrate.
The old friar is in chains.
"I am not a thief," says the old friar. "I am a poor friar."
"What is happening?" asks Don Diego.
"This old friar is a thief. He must be punished," answers the magistrate.
"That is impossible. Friar Felipe is an honest man. I know him," says Don Diego.
"No,you are wrong," says the cruel magistrate.
He calls two soldiers and says, "Whip this friar 15 times."
The soldiers whip the old friar and he falls to the ground.
Don Diego is very angry because Friar Felipe is his friend.
He returns to his father's hacienda.
"Good afternoon, my son," says his father, Don Alejandro Vega.
"I am happy to see you. Come and tell me about Lolita. Does she want to marry you?"
"I like Lolita, but she doesn't like me. She likes romantic men. What can I do?" asks Don Diego.
"Girls like courageous, romantic men. You must talk about love. You must play the guitar and sing love songs. Give her some flowers. This is what young men do.Wake up, Diego!" says Don Alejandro.
"How ridiculous! I cannot do these stupid things," says Don Diego.
"You must try. Lolita is a lovely girl," says Don Alejandro.
"There are many problems in my life. I want to rest and meditate," says Don Diego.

第六章：费利佩修士
拉蒙队长回到了要塞。
他非常愤怒。
“我必须惩罚洛丽塔，她的家人和佐罗的侮辱！”他想。“我必须给总督写封信。我必须告诉他唐·卡洛斯·普利多和他的家人是叛徒。他们是佐罗的朋友。他们帮助他。”
他写了这封信并把它寄给了总督。
他笑着说：“我想在监狱里看到普利多一家！”
“我想在监狱里见到你！”一个男人的声音说。
拉蒙队长转过身，看到了佐罗。
“你是个恶棍。和我战斗，但不要伤害普利多家族！”佐罗说。
“冈萨雷斯警官，快来！”上尉说。“佐罗在这里。”
佐罗消失了。
“我在这里，队长，”冈萨雷斯警官说。
“带着所有的士兵去找佐罗！”我们必须抓住他。”
士兵们跟着佐罗。
夜是黑的。很难跟上他，因为他的马跑得很快。
第二天早上，士兵们回到了要塞。
他们又累又生气。
佐罗仍然是自由的。
那天早上要塞前有很多人。
唐·迭戈也在那里。
有些事情正在发生。
一位老修士站在法官面前。
老修士被锁着。
“我不是小偷，”老修士说。“我是一个穷修士。”
“发生了什么事？”唐·迭戈问。
“这个老修士是个贼。他必须受到惩罚，”法官回答。
“那不可能。费利佩修士是个诚实的人。我认识他，”唐·迭戈说。
“不，你错了，”残酷的法官说。
他叫来两个士兵，说：“鞭打这个修士十五下。”
士兵们鞭打老修士，他倒在地上。
唐·迭戈非常生气，因为费利佩修士是他的朋友。
他回到了父亲的庄园。
“下午好，我的儿子，”他的父亲唐·亚历杭德罗·维加说。
“我很高兴见到你。来告诉我关于洛丽塔的事。她想嫁给你吗？”
“我喜欢洛丽塔，但她不喜欢我。她喜欢浪漫的男人。我能做什么？”唐·迭戈问。
“女孩喜欢勇敢、浪漫的男人。你必须谈论爱。你必须弹吉他，唱情歌。给她一些花。这就是年轻人所做的。醒醒吧，迭戈！”唐·亚历杭德罗说。
“多么荒谬!我不能做这些愚蠢的事情，”唐·迭戈说。
“你必须试试。洛丽塔是一个可爱的女孩，”唐·亚历杭德罗说。
“我的生活中有很多问题。我想休息和冥想，”唐·迭戈说。
