Why are they thete? And what are they drinking? The Legend of Sleepy Hollow is about a teacher, Ichabod Crane. He likes listening to stories about ghosts. But are there ghosts in Sleepy Hollow? And is Ichabod going to see a ghost? The stories in this book are about people—and about ghosts. There are a lot of questions in the stories, but not many answers. Washington Irving (1783-1859) is a very famous American writer, He lived in New York, but later he worked in Europe for seventeen years. Then he went back to the United States and lived near the Hudson River. In the yeats 1770 to 1810, people came to America from Holland and fived in the mountains near the Hudson River. The stories in this book are about these people, At that time, America was British. The king was King George III. Then, in 1775, Britain and America started a war. The war finished in 1783, and there was a new country—the United States of America,RIP VAN WINKLE Chapter 1 Rip’s Wife is Angry ‘There was a small town in America. Near this town’ were some very beautifull mountains, with many trees, on them. The mountains were beautiful—but they ‘were strange, too. “Maybe ghosts live there,” the people in the town said. They said this because sometimes strange noises came from the mountains. A man lived in this small town and his name was Rip Van Winkle. The people in the town liked him, He liked talking to people and he liked helping them. Rip was a farmer, but he didn't like working. He liked going to the bar in the town and talking to the men. They talked often, sometimes every day. The name of the bar was the King George. King George was the British king, and America was British then. Rip had a wife, a daughter, and a son. His wife was always angry because Rip didn't work. She was angry, too, because he talked in the bar all day. “Rip, stop talking! Go to work!” she said. “You sit all day with your friends at the bar. But we have children, Rip. We have a farm. Come home now and work!” Rip had one very good friend—his dog, Wolf. “Let's go to the mountains,” Rip said to Wolf. “I don’t want to see my wife and I don’t want to listen to her”They walked and walked up the mountain.“Yes, you want my help,” Rip said to the man. Rip went with the man. They walked and walked up the mountain. The barrel was on Rips back now. “Where are we going?” Rip asked. But the old man didn’t answer. Strange noises came from the mountain. “What are those noises?” Rip asked. Again, the man didn’t answer. Chapter 3 Rip Drinks from the Barrel The man and Rip came to a big building in the mountains. There were a lot of men there, but Rip didn't know them. They had very long, white beards, and they were old. They played a game, but Rip didn’t know it. The old men looked at Rip and stopped playing their game. “Hello,” Rip said to the men. The men didn’t answer. They looked at Rip, and then looked at the barrel. “What's in this barrel?” Rip asked. He looked in the barrel, There was drink in it. “Do you want some?” Rip asked. ‘They looked at him, but they didn’t answer. “Yes, you want some,” he said. The old men had a drink from the barrel. Then Rip had a drink from it, too. He liked it and he had a lot of drinks. The men had a lot of drinks, too, but they didn’t talk. They played their game again. “This is strange,” Rip said. “They're drinking, but they aren't talking.” Rip wasn’t afraid. He was happy and he didn’t want“T want to sleep now,” he said, and he closed his eyes.to go home. It was late in the evening, but Rip stayed with the men for a long time. “T want to sleep now.” he stid, and he closed his eyes. Chapter 4 Rip Goes Home Rip opened his eyes. He was under a tree, in the mountains. It was morning. He remembered the strange men, and the strange building, “Oh!” he said. “I'm in the mountains. I didn't go home. I stayed here all night. The men! Where are the men? And where's the building? That drink was bad, very bad. My wife! I know she’s angry. And where’s Wolf?” Rip wanted to find his dog. He looked and he looked. He called, but Wolf didn’t come. Slowly, Rip walked down the mountain to his town. He was unhappy, because he didn’t have his dog. He was afraid, because he didn't want to see his wife. He looked at the houses in the town. They were strange. He looked at the people, but he didn’t know these people. There were children in the town, but Rip didn't know them. The people weren't the same, and the houses weren't the same. “Who are these people? Maybe I’m not in my town. Oh, that drink was bad!” he said. Then Rip walked to his house. It was very old. “Wife, wife, where are you? Children, where are you? Are you there? Please answer me!” Rip said. But his wife wasn't there and his children weren't there. “Wolf, Wolf, you're here!” Rip said. But the dog didn’t know Rip.“Are you my dog?” Rip asked. He didn’t understand. Where was his family? Why was his house old? Why were the people in the town strange? Who were they? He was unhappy. He walked quickly from his house to the bar in the town, He wanted to find his friends Chapter 5. “Who am I?” Rip walked to the bar, but the bar wasn't the same. The name of the bar wasn’t the King Geog. It had a new name—The Union Hotel. A lot of people were there. Rip looked for his friends “Excuse me, I'm looking for some people. They're my friends. They come here every day” he said to the men in the bar. “Who are these people?” the men asked, and Rip said their names. “No, no, no. They don't live hete now” the men said. “They lived here yesterday. Where are they now?” Rip asked. “Yesterday? No, no, they weren't here yesterday. ‘They're dead,” the men said. “Dead?” Rip said.“How? When?” “A Jot of people are dead. Remember, the war?” “War? Which war?” Rip asked. “The war with Britain,” the men said. “7 don’t remember a war with Britain,” Rip said “You don't remember? We had a war with Britain. Now we're a new country—the United States of America!” they said.“What?” Rip said. “Yes,” they said.““But, old man, who are you?” “Old man? Am [an old man?” Rip asked. “Yes, you are. You have a long, white beard,” they said. “Oh—I am old. My name's Rip Van Winkle,” he said “Rip Van Winkle! No, you aren't Rip Van Winkle!” said the men, Many people from the town came to the bar. They wanted to listen. “Yes, yes, I am Rip Van Winkle. Please believe me, I'm Rip Van Winkle,” Rip said. “No, no. RipVan Winkle was here in this town—but rot now,” the people in the town said. Rip didn't understand. The people didn’t believe kim. Why? “People here don’t know me. I don’t have a home, a family, or a dog,” Rip said. He wasn’t happy, and he started to walk slowly away. Chapter 6 Rip’s Daughter ‘A young woman came to the hotel. She looked at Rip. “Don’t go,” she said. “You're unhappy and afraid. 1 can see that. Stay here with us.” “Do I know you?” he asked. “No,” she answered, “Young woman, who is your father?” Rip asked. “Rip Van Winkle,” she answered. “But he doesn't live here now. He went to the mountains with his dog, and he didn’t come home.” “Where's your mother?” he asked.“Daughter, I'm your father. I'm Rip Van Winkle!”“She's dead;” the young woman answered. Rip wasn’t unhappy about that! “Daughter, I'm your father. I'm Rip Van Winkle!” he said “What?” she said. People came out of the hotel and listened to them. ‘An old woman looked at Rip. “Yes, itis you, it is Rip Van Winkle! | remember you. You're home, Rip!” the old woman. said. Rip was very happy. “Daughter, you're not a child, You're a young woman,” Rip said. “Yes, father, I'm a young woman, and I have children,’ she said. “Daughter, [ don’t understand. Yesterday, you were a child, and now you're not. Yesterday, [ was young, and today I’m old.
